Amazon's Alexa finally got its promised Ai Makeover with Alexa+and already has the online giant retail promises the moon By cooking the LLMs to almost each of the products it uses. Will Amazon offer the first real AI assistant with each company and their corporate mother promised in the last two years? Probably, but it depends if you are willing to dive into the head in Amazon's hardware and software ecosystems.
Amazon on Wednesday showed us a murder of promised features. Amazon says Chatbot will not just talk to you about your problems or offers bad pizza combined recommendations. It will contact your coherent home intelligent devices to easily set tasks or organize by footage from your external cameras. AIC's AI has image recognition capabilities that provide to understand what happens in front of your camera rings or understand your emails or recipes. It also has the ability to cooperate with the video and cast on fire TV, which will help with Amazon's possession James Bond I -infiltrate your screens big and small.
Alexa+ will come out for some select users next month and will see a staggered release for all users. If you already have Amazon Prime, you will get accessible, but if not, it costs $ 20 per month. AI will operate on Echo Show devices at first, including more shows 15 and 21, before supporting Amazon Fire TVs. Supporting third-party devices playing Amazon's OS will come someday. There is a lot going on, so let's break it.
Alexa+ includes both a website and app
In the next few weeks, a -configure that again Alexa.com will host the company's AI-powered assistant. It will work in conjunction with a modified Alexa app, which will replace the current application. Amazon did not show most of what UI looks like on this website or app, even though the company has made some features for controlling food ordering capabilities similar to how it works with Echo. The app and website should be rolling next to the staggered, wider Alexa+ release.
Amazon's father should remember all your documents, you should choose to share them
Alexa users should upload any number of documents, emails, screenshots, or notes written in hand to AIA's father for “remember” any dates, person, or related details for you. This is similar to Google's Gemini features, but you can also specifically ask AI to “remember” some events for you to call later. The easiest way to provide access to AI with these documents is by sharing them with the Alexa app every time the AI update arrives. Amazon told us that you should share emails associated with your Amazon account, though you can also connect separate accounts via app.
Amazon's AI is connected to a wide number of apps
Amazon promises Alexa+ will not only work on Amazon products, but “ten -ten thousand” apps and services. Amazon counts news organizations such as the Associated Press and Reuters among that number, so the actual number of apps connected to APK is less than that. However, with apps such as Uber, Openable, Thumbtack, Vizio, Tidal, Xbox, and Many, many more. It is unclear what exact connections each app can include, but Amazon has shown how to book a car trip to Uber and set up a calendar appointment by thumbtack, all by the same UI.
Amazon wants to reimagine how you can order food online
If I wanted to make a pizza at home, Amazon's Alexa+ could make the hard part of finding out the ingredients. Asking Alexa+ for ingredients will first take you to a separate cut-out menu, then as you talk about your wishes and preferences, Alexa will develop a list of possible ingredients. Amazon has told us these defaults to what you usually prefer to order based on your Amazon account, but you can change the numbers and brands either in your voice or by choosing each product to come. AI is surprisingly capable of knowing if I want a bottle of cheap olive oil or if I want to make my own pizza dough instead of mud through brands pre-made dough.
It is easy to pass your audio to the specific speakers around the house
In a demo, the VP of Amazon's devices and services, Panos Panay, has shown how you ask Alexa+ to play audio through specific speakers setting up around your room. It ends with two sections of echo speakers, though it should work with any set of smart home speakers.
Alexa+ can set smart homework and timer in your voice
If you have already experienced a problem to separate your home with a variety of smart displays, smart lights, and any number of coherent devices, then Alexa+ promises to make the settings settings easier. In a demo, Amazon shows how a timer can set to down the lights at a specific time of the day or set a mood illumination for some scenario. AI should understand what you want even if you don't know the exact names of different fixtures in lighting around the house. This can make it easier for people who don't set up those devices to change their tasks.
New Alexa Ai will understand what is going on in front of your cameras
The Amazon Nova Group models of the AI Foundation include a fair amount of image and video vision capabilities. It works best with Amazon-owned products, as AI not only understands what's going on in real time, but it can be back by a recorded video if you want to know if a package arrives or if a member of your household is remembered to walk the dog that day. These imaging capabilities will also work on built-in cameras on Echo Show Products or any interrelated camera setup, even though company representatives have told us that AI may not be able to look through footage on third-party devices.
Alexa can help
Those of us who cannot build a coherent thinking at the end of a workday can get a little help from Amazon's new AI products. Alexa+ can help you figure out what movie scene you think of. For example, if you ask this for the name of the movie with “sparkling vampires,” it should release one of the four cover films. While Amazon's echo devices first use Alexa+, those devices can still throw your music or video content on a FireTV without having to choose a remote. In the beginning, Alexa+ would not have Shazam -like skills to recognize music based on your listening. The company said something it looks for for a future addition.
There is a version that is a friend of Alexa+ child+
Amazon+ subscribers will get new features with “Alexa's stories” and “explore with Alexa.” It is essentially adding a chatbot to the existing “storytelling” interface of the company, so if you want your echo devices to offer an ai-generated bedtime story with a lizard with a ugly ai-generated art, then it should be capable of that. Otherwise, AI should have the ability to answer questions to satisfy your children's curiosity, even when judging by previous AI chatbots, we are considering trusting its accuracy or reliability.
