Amazon has introduced Alexa+, a significant upgrade to its standard Alexa voice assistant, now available in Early Access. Powered by generative AI, Alexa+ promises a more natural conversational flow, enhanced personalization, and increased efficiency in helping users accomplish tasks. According to Amazon, "Alexa+ is more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done." This new version aims to revolutionize how users interact with their smart devices, making everyday tasks more intuitive and seamless.
Currently, Alexa+ is in Early Access, exclusively available on select Echo Show devices: the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. If you own or plan to purchase one of these devices, you can be among the first to experience this upgraded assistant.

After the Early Access phase, Alexa+ will become a free benefit for Amazon Prime members or available to non-Prime users for a monthly fee of $19.99.

With its conversational approach, Alexa+ allows you to ask questions and request assistance on the fly. Whether it's managing your to-do list, retrieving specific details from your calendar, or making restaurant reservations, Alexa+ is designed to handle a wide array of tasks effortlessly. Amazon's Alexa+ Early Access page also highlights that "new features are being added regularly," suggesting that users can expect continual enhancements and updates post the Early Access period.
Unfortunately, not all devices will support Alexa+ immediately. Older generation Echo devices, including the Echo Dot 1st Gen, Echo 1st Gen, Echo Plus 1st Gen, Amazon Tap, Echo Show 1st Gen, Echo Show 2nd Gen, and Echo Spot 1st Gen, will continue to use the original Alexa. However, Amazon has announced plans to expand Alexa+ compatibility to more devices, such as Fire TV and Fire tablets, and through Alexa.com in the near future.
