  • A pilot program for Amazon.com's (NASDAQ:AMZN) business-case voice assistant, Alexa for Business, has been paused at WeWork (VWORK), CNBC says, though it's grown quite popular at Amazon itself.
  • WeWork was promoted as a flagship customer of the new offering back in March.
  • But the pilot lasted for about two months, according to the report.
  • The service lets workers perform such tasks as reserve conference rooms or adjust temperatures by talking to Alexa-powered devices. And while WeWork isn't using it anymore, Amazon notes that more than half of its meetings start by talking to the Alexa assistant rather than typing in information.
  • That leads to meetings that start in an average of less than nine seconds, Amazon data show.
