These possibilities and more are now available with the Chirp Alexa Toolkit.Ĭhirp is a London-based startup that provides data-over-sound technology solutions that aid interoperability between networks and devices and simplifies the connection and data-sharing process between devices using sound. For example, you could have Alexa check in a hotel guest by simply “chirping” a code to the guest’s mobile app, or seamlessly providing the guest with Wi-Fi information by having Alexa broadcast Wi-Fi security configuration, encoded into a sonic barcode. Imagine if you could use Alexa to send data over sound to any nearby audio-capable devices that share the same physical space-but might not be known on the network, logged-in, authenticated, or otherwise affiliated with the Amazon account of the Alexa owner.
