Amazon's AI-heavy upgrade to its virtual assistant, Alexa+, has launched but with many missing features.
Tools such as ordering takeout on Grubhub, identifying family members via camera, auto-generating stories for kids, brainstorming gift ideas, and ordering groceries are delayed.
Current capabilities of Alexa+ include ordering an Uber, object identification, and drafting emails.
Alexa+ is included with Amazon Prime but non-members must pay $20 per month, and it only works on devices with screens.
