    There are actually 2 processors in the devices. 1 that constantly listens for a keyword, Al la, Alexa, Hey Google. When it hears it it quickly spins up another “computer” that then sends your voice back and forth to the servers for processing and response. It’s part of the reason that the listen word isn’t easily customized.

      It still stores the name triggers, even incorrect matches (last I checked, which was years back).
      The recordings can be played back from account history.
      The one time I looked at some random, it was mostly snippets of my conversations with friends.
      Creepy.
