Alexa Skill Commands

Note: Amazon is working to address issues with Alexa recognizing the new “ask AnyList” and “tell AnyList” in some locations outside the United States. Learn More

Below are examples of the commands you can use with the AnyList skill.

Adding Items to a List

• “Alexa, ask AnyList to add apples to my grocery list”
• “Alexa, tell AnyList to add toothpaste to my packing list”
• “Alexa, open AnyList and add paper towels to Costco”

Note: Alexa will respond, "AnyList added ITEM to LIST". If Alexa's response does not begin with "AnyList added…", then Alexa added the item to one of its own lists instead and the item will not appear in AnyList.
