Over the last decade, artificial intelligence has been propelled forward by advances in machine
learning algorithms and computational hardware, opening up myriad new avenues for scientific
research. Nevertheless, virtual assistants and voice control have yet to be widely utilized in the
natural sciences. Here, we present ChemVox, an interactive Amazon Alexa skill that uses speech
recognition to perform quantum chemistry calculations. This new application interfaces Alexa
with cloud computing and returns the results through a capable device. ChemVox paves the way
to making computational chemistry routinely accessible to the wider community
