AI overview
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, with a numerical value of one in ancient Greek number systems. It matters because it's a foundational letter whose origins trace back to the Phoenician alphabet and from which other writing systems, including Latin and Cyrillic, ultimately derived their own first letters.
