Amazon reveals Alexa+, its next-gen AI assistant with new superpowers

Amazon’s wiser Alexa has arrived. The company in a big reveal has lifted the veil on Alexa+- an AI assistant designed with large language models (LLMs) and what Amazon refers to as “agentic capabilities.”

Amazon explains that Alexa+ is made to be more intuitive and can comprehend intricate ideas, colloquial terms, and incomplete questions, much like interacting with a good friend instead of a device.
