Yacht-to-Dot. With 85 minutes, we'll demo show. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, today we are revisiting a skill that we last covered over a thousand episodes ago.
Detective Ivan, Crime Investigation, but it's just easy to open it with Detective Ivan, but you might need to stick the other bit on the beginning to enable it. Yeah, it's like a futuristic take on the crime detective genre thing. Let's go to go. Is that open?
Detective Ivan. Hello, Detective. I am Ivan, an artificially intelligent crime scene investigation assistant. In 2034, I was built to enable detectives to solve crimes remotely.
Saving time and resources for police departments. I collect crime scene and witness data so you can investigate evidence and interview witness simulations in order to solve the case. I will help you solve crimes and provide hints when needed. Would you like to start investigating your first case?
Yes. Welcome to your first case using Ivan, your crime scene investigation assistant. I have gathered crime scene and witness data for you to solve the case. Preparing crime scene data.
In New York City, the body of an adult male was found by the owner of a restaurant in West Manhattan. Would you like to inspect the body or search the area for evidence? Search the area. The victim's body was found behind the neighborhood restaurant.
The adjacent street is bustling, but nobody appears to show any interest in the crime scene. The ground is wet and covered in garbage. The restaurant owner discovered the body when coming to fix the broken fire escape ladder. Where would you like to look first?
Help. You said help. If you're feeling stuck, just say hint of the next prompt, and Ivan will give you a hint as to what you should look at or say next. Also, remember Ivan has a few tools to help you out.
He can pick up, open, close, push, and pull objects. He can also sometimes swap a route, scan for fingerprints, and perform self-analysis. Returning you to the case now. The victim's body was found behind the neighborhood restaurant.
The adjacent street is bustling, but nobody appears to show any interest in the crime scene. The ground is wet and covered in garbage. The restaurant owner discovered the body when coming to fix the broken fire escape ladder. Where would you like to look first?
Examine the ladder. The fire escape ladder is broken from the building and leaning against the wall. Upon closer inspection, it appears to have been grabbed by a bloody hand. Further analysis is required.
I can swap the blood, scan for fingerprints, or perform sent analysis. What would you like to do? Swap the blood. Upon analysis, the blood on the ladder belongs to the victim.
Further analysis is required. What would you like to do? Scan for fingerprints. The handprint on the ladder has left a partial fingerprint.
The print does not appear in existing criminal databases, but has been logged for future use. There is more relevant evidence of the crime scene. There is garbage and debris scattered on the ground. The restaurant owner discovered the body when coming to the alley to fix the broken fire escape ladder.
Where else would you like to look? Examine the ground. The ground is wet from a recent rain that has washed away much of the physical evidence from the scene. There is garbage spread over the ground, and there is a wallet sitting two meters from the victim.
I can pick up, push, pull, open, and close items. What would you like to do next? Pick up the wallet. Upon inspecting the wallet, it doesn't look like this was a robbery.
There is $35 cash, credit cards, and the victim's driver's license inside. The victim's name is Robert Williams. He is 32 years old and lives in an apartment in Midtown Manhattan. You have collected all the evidence found in the crime scene earlier.
You should inspect the victim's body for more evidence. The body of an adult male is laying face down on the ground, his arms at his sides. The victim is wearing a business suit. The suit is tattered and stained, with his shirt partially unbuttoned.
Further chemical analysis shows that the victim had likely been wearing the same clothing for several days prior to their death. I have noticed more to examine on the victim's neck and his hands. Where would you like to examine first? Examine the victim's neck.
On the back of the victim's neck is a small cut or incision. The cut is 3cm deep and 4cm wide, performed with a sharp instrument, likely medical in nature. The victim's blood surrounds the area. This was likely the cause of death.
There is still more relevant evidence on the victim's body. Where else on his body would you like to inspect? Stop. Thanks for playing.
Return at any time and resume where you left off. Goodbye. Let's leave it there. There you go, guys.
Good, I think. Yeah, it's not your typical detective one where you just get paraded some witnesses and they have contradicting stories or something. Some of them are fibbing. Yeah, this is more like a escape the room skill, really.
I don't know, it's got that flavour. There you go, Detective Ivan. This is Robin signing off, and we'll speak in tomorrow. No, wait, don't go.
