"Ziggy" - is the new vocal command you can issue to Amazon's voice assistant; and it will respond with a masculine voice. Amazon has had "Alexa", "Echo", "Amazon" and "Computer" as their wake-up words for years. Amazon won't specifically associate "Ziggy" with masculine and "Alexa" with feminine responses. You'll be able to configure them to your listening pleasures by asking Alexa/Ziggy to "Change your voice". Amazon's competitors - Apple Siri and Google have offered multiple vocal options for long time. Both Ziggy and Alexa identify themselves as man or woman; but "AI".
