  • This In the last years, there have been an increase in the research interest of generative Artificial Intelligence in education. Being able to chat to an intelligent agent has been a long-investigated domain goal of research in Pedagogic Conversational Agents. However, the limitations of Natural Language Processing restricted its use in class. The advent of more intelligent dialogues with systems such as Alexa or ChatGPT could be the key change to its real integration in the classroom if teachers and students learn how to use them. In this paper, it is proposed a model to integrate Alexa in the University classroom to assist students in the review of their subjects. The goal is to teach students to use these assistants to take advantage of its benefits. More research is necessary into how intelligent virtual assistants can be successfully integrated into the classrooms of all educational levels.
