Some virtual example of personal assistant (5)

I believe the answer is:

alexa

'personal assistant' is the definition.
(digital assistant on Amazon devices)

'some virtual example of' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ALEXA' can be found hidden inside 'virtual example of'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
