Amazon recently announced the long -awaited update for its smart assistant at home Alexa. The new assistant is called Alexa+ and requires a subscription of $ 19.99 a month, but is it really worth it? Well, Amazon has shown a lot of new features, so it may be very good.

Here is everything new announced by Amazon or its display on Alexa+.

More minds behind the device

Fortunately, the biggest problem with Alexa today is finally fixed. It is very similar to the smart home assistants, understanding Alexa for the requests you ask about it can be … difficult. It is a very common joke that Amazon Assistant is often known for the misfortune of what the user says. With LLM (Great Language Model), Amnesty International is now running Alexa+, Amazon is preparing to bring the real deal to our homes. Alexa will understand what you say with a much lower repetition and you will also remember the context of the conversation you are. You will not need to claim it for “Hey Alexa” every time and you can give a few orders together and Alexa will implement them.

Natural driving structure is much more

Along with more minds the ability to speak normally comes. Alexa+ will not be asked to give it specific orders, and instead it will do with limited information. In the event, this was shown by asking Alexa to play a song, but instead of the song’s name, it was only given a description. Alexa managed to determine the song she was correct and began to play it. When I asked to transfer music to the right side of the room that Alexa managed to determine what you need. He began closing the loudspeakers on the left side of the room, and as he asked, transfer the music to the specified direction.

Not just chatbot

When the presentation began, the public was told that Amazon could not simply rely on a simple chatbot to realize the company’s vision of Alexa. As such, Alexa was rebuilt from A to Z to really become an artificial intelligence agent in the future. In simpler phrases: Alexa can now interface with third -party applications and devices.

Alexa+ “tens of thousands” will support other platforms at all, including big names such as Samsung, Uber and Xbox. The assistant was offered to reserve Uber’s trip and save a table in a restaurant independently. Then select a text to notify a contact on the reservation. Very cool things in my opinion.

Alexa can use your episode camera to answer some very specific questions. During the explanatory show, the assistant was asked whether he had seen anyone walking the dog recently. Alexa was also asked if any package was brought to home. Either way, I managed to find events records.

Finally, Alexa is able to search for good reputable companies for any problem you may face in your home and reserve an appointment. This will also be naturally translated into doctor visits and other needs in the real world as well.

I bet that Alexa+ will soon be given the autonomy that was seen in the agents of artificial intelligence that Openai is working on. In the near future, you can allow Alexa to summon customer service and deal with long waiting times so that you can contact an actor. Now this is a future I want to live in!

No new echo

Surprisingly, there was no new echo product announced today. I thought, what with Alexa is completely new, that the new echo has long been late, but Amazon focuses only on artificial intelligence at the present time. Directly from Go Go, the entire presentation was about Amazon’s work with artificial intelligence.

Alexa pricing+

Artificial intelligence products require a lot of servers, and therefore also require some forms of fees to maintain them. Apple intelligence and Galaxy Ai is likely to be locked behind the Paywall wall soon, but Amazon does not offer any free experimental offers at all.

Fortunately, if you have an Amazon Prime account, you will get Alexa+ for free. This is just another way Amazon motivates consumers to subscribe to Prime, and another is free subscriptions available on Twitch for Prime members.

If you do not have a major membership and you are not interested in getting one, Alexa+ $ 19.99 will cost you a month. Although it is a problem to see another subscription service, at least this is very unnecessary.

People who love their smart home appliances and believe that the new Alexa is elegant will not mind paying $ 20 per month. Those who are not enthusiastic about this industry will not lose anything.

Alexa+ will start out of March, but it may take several months to be available everywhere. If you want Alexa+ for my home, I will get a prime membership. The best deal looks now.
