Today, Amazon unveiled Alexa Plus, one of the most significant voice assistant enhancements in history, which is powered by generative AI. Rather than merely repeating pre-programmed phrases, it can produce responses. In addition, Alexa Plus can help you with conversational gastronomy, book your Uber journey, and get tickets to your favourite performances. However, not every Echo product supports it.
The enhanced Amazon virtual assistant will roll out in early access starting next month with only four Amazon Echo devices, at least for now. The company hasn’t ruled out the possibility of other products getting Alexa Plus but has included four Echo products that come equipped with a screen—which would provide the best Alexa Plus experience with the new dashboard and intuitive animations.
