It appears to be vaporware for now.
Also, from the looks of it, it seems to be a simple stand-alone bluetooth speakerphone. It looks like the device uses its own mic and speaker to make the call. In essence, it is using Alexa just to remote control turning it on and off (probably using a combination of a skill and an app on your phone).

I wonder if it's a reference to The Forbin Project?

I like the thought that it can answer whatever Cell phone belongs to what person... and recognizes each person enabled... pretty cool if it comes to fruition... or if Amazon takes the line and makes Alexa able to do it without the other product...
