Amazon has announced a modern version of his smart assistant today. Alexa Plus has extended capabilities, the company seemed to demonstrate, such as finding tickets for concerts on your behalf or ordering Uber to pick up someone at the airport. The improved sharp assistant will also facilitate more natural conversations with him, but Amazon will take users for the first time for these modern skills.
Free early access to Alexa Plus will start at the end of March 2025 in the United States for customers with eligible Echo devices. They will be notified via the e -mail mail and notifications of devices after granting access to Alex Plus, but they will have to decide to employ them.
Subscriptions for Alexa Plus start from $ 19.99 per month after early access, but is free for the main users. Given that Prime costs USD 14.99 per month or USD 139 a year, it’s strenuous to imagine that someone will decide to pay for Alex Plus. Many modern possibilities of Sharp Assistant, such as jumping to part of the film in which a specific song is played, will also depend on services such as Amazon Music and Amazon Prime Video. To take full advantage of Alex Plus, Prime membership almost seems mandatory.
At today’s Amazon event, no hardware ads have been announced, but the company confirmed that Alexa Plus will work on Alexa’s “almost every” device released so far, including Alexa’s mobile application, as well as on television and Fire tablets. However, Echo Show 8, 10, 15 and 21, which have interfaces with a touch screen, will be priority during early access. The company has also confirmed That some echoes of older generation, including Echo Tap versions and the first generation Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Echo Spot and Echo versions, will not support Alexa Plus. Astro Robot Amazon will also be compatible with the original Alexa.
Update, February 26: Additional details of the compatibility and availability of the device have been added.
