Top Alexa questions of 2025 reveal diverse user interests

Amazon has published the most frequently asked questions to its Alexa virtual assistant during 2025, providing insight into how people interact with voice-activated AI throughout the year.

Practical questions, such as cooking tips like ‘How long do I poach an egg for?’ and basic science queries like the diameter of Earth, topped the list, showing that many users rely on Alexa for everyday information.

The report also revealed regional and topical variety: in Australia, users asked about sleep help and food classification (e.g. whether a tomato is a fruit), while global queries included questions about celebrities’ heights, weights and net worth.

One of the year’s most frequently asked questions was ‘What does AI stand for?’, indicating ongoing curiosity about the technology that powers the assistant itself. Music and entertainment featured prominently, with Taylor Swift identified as the most played artist of the year and the song ‘APT’ cited as the most played track in multiple regions.

These usage patterns reflect how voice assistants have become integrated into daily routines, from practical tasks to leisure and curiosity-driven searches.
