Amazon introduced Alexa+ over six weeks ago with much fanfare, but the wider release seems to be delayed, as many Alexa users are still waiting for early access.
There is little public evidence of Alexa+ usage among AI and voice assistant users, with reports suggesting technical issues and cost concerns might be causing the delay.
Amazon claims that Alexa+ is already in use by hundreds of thousands of customers and will continue to roll out to millions in the coming month, dismissing claims of a slow introduction.
Despite the assurance from Amazon, the delayed release of Alexa+ raises concerns about its performance and potential impact on Amazon's smart home strategy if it fails to deliver as expected.
