Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd would launch a product mimicking Amazon.com Inc's Echo next week, according to a source familiar with the matter. 

Amazon Echo, launched in 2014, is a speaker which one can leave on all day and give voice commands to, similar to Siri on an Apple Inc iPhone.
