đ§Ș PAM for Alexa is currently in Beta. We're still improving it, so you may notice the odd slow or unexpected reply. If something doesn't work as you'd expect, message us in the PAM app. Your feedback helps us make it better.
With the PAM skill for Alexa, you can talk to PAM through your Echo or the Alexa app. Ask what's on, add events and tasks, and update your lists, all hands-free.
Before you start
You'll need the Amazon Alexa app on your phone, signed in with the same Amazon account as your Echo device.
Know which email address you use to sign in to PAM. You'll use it to link your account.
How to enable the PAM skill and link your account
Open the Alexa app.
Tap More in the bottom menu, then Skills & Games.
Search for PAM assistant and select PAM.
Tap Enable to Use. Alexa will open the PAM linking page.
Enter the email address you use for PAM, then tap Send Verification Code.
Check your email for a 6-digit code from PAM, and enter it on the linking page.
You'll be taken back to the Alexa app, which confirms that PAM is linked. You're ready to go.
đ Note: Alexa acts as the PAM user whose email you linked. If someone else in your household wants PAM to act as them, they need to link PAM from their own Amazon account.
How to talk to PAM
Start by saying "Alexa, open PAM assistant". When PAM says it's ready, tell it what you need in your own words.
Things you can ask
Check your calendar: "What's on tomorrow?" or "What do we have this weekend?"
Add an event: "Add swimming for Mia on Thursday at 4 pm."
Add a task: "Remind me to pay the power bill on Friday."
Update a list: "Add milk and bread to the shopping list."
Move something: "Move the dentist to next Wednesday."
Everything you add by voice appears in the PAM app straight away, for everyone you share it with.
Tips
If you don't give a time, PAM makes the event all-day or makes the task due on the day you mention.
PAM keeps voice replies short. Open the PAM app to see full details.
If a request takes a little longer, PAM may say it's still working on it. Check the PAM app after a moment. Your change will be there once it's done.
Say "Stop" or "Goodbye" to close PAM.
Common questions
Can I use PAM with Alexa on more than one device?
Yes. Once linked, PAM works on every Echo device and the Alexa app on that Amazon account.
How do I unlink PAM from Alexa?
In the Alexa app, go to More â Skills & Games â Your Skills, select PAM, and tap Disable Skill.
Troubleshooting
Alexa says "I couldn't find your PAM account."
Your account isn't linked, or the link has expired. Disable the PAM skill in the Alexa app, then enable it again and follow the linking steps above.
I didn't get a verification code.
Check your spam or junk folder, and make sure you entered the same email address you use to sign in to PAM. You can request a new code from the linking page.
I can't find PAM when I search in the Alexa app.
Search for PAM assistant. If it still doesn't appear, you can also enable it by saying
"Alexa, open PAM assistant".
