Amazon’s Alexa+ is almost perfect—Here’s what I’d avoid (hot take!)
- Amazon has unveiled Alexa+ with enhanced conversational, smart, and personalized features, including generative AI for real-time responses.
- Alexa+ uses advanced language models like Nova and Claude to improve accuracy and natural conversation flow.
- The new feature of remembering user preferences aims to cut down frustrations such as misplays and playlist issues.
- With agentic capabilities, Alexa+ can independently browse the web, schedule tasks, and notify users, reducing manual intervention.
- Smart home integration allows Alexa+ to recognize specific room commands and control devices without additional clarification.
- Alexa+ offers personalized assistance, manages room-specific commands, and can seamlessly move music between speakers.
- The service is priced at $19.99 per month, with Amazon Prime members eligible for a free subscription, launching initially in the US.
- Early access will focus on select Echo Show models, with wider availability planned in the upcoming months.
- While Alexa+ shows promise in personalized assistance and smart home controls, relying on AI for important decisions may require further evaluation.
- Room-specific commands, playlist memory, and smart home features position Alexa+ as a potential game-changer, pending user feedback during the early access phase.
