Alexa+

Alexa+ is Amazon's generative AI version of Alexa, which talks naturally, researches topics, creates images and gets tasks done across devices.

Alexa+ is the generative AI upgrade of Amazon's Alexa assistant. People can talk naturally, interrupt or change topic mid-conversation, and Alexa+ keeps the context and remembers their preferences. It researches topics in depth, drafts messages and invitations, creates images and checklists, and helps plan events, meals and trips, then acts on the result by adding calendar events, browsing tickets or booking services. Conversations carry over between the web browser, the Alexa app and Echo and Fire TV devices. Alexa+ is free with Amazon Prime.
