Alexa Plus Now Available on Select Echo Show Devices

There's an exciting new development in the world of voice assistants: Amazon has introduced Alexa+, an upgraded version of the standard Alexa, now available in Early Access. Powered by generative AI, Alexa+ promises a more natural conversational flow, making interactions feel more human-like. Amazon touts Alexa+ as "more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done," highlighting its enhanced capabilities.

Currently, Alexa+ is in Early Access and can only be experienced on select Echo Show devices, including the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. If you own or are considering purchasing one of these devices, you can be among the first to try out Alexa+. Simply visit the provided link to sign up for notifications about when Early Access will be available. After the Early Access phase, Alexa+ will become a free benefit for Amazon Prime members, or available to non-Prime users for $19.99 per month.

With its conversational approach, Alexa+ allows you to ask anything that comes to mind. It can assist with a range of tasks such as managing your to-do list, pulling specific details from your calendar, and even booking reservations at restaurants. The Alexa+ Early Access page indicates that new features are being added regularly, suggesting that even more capabilities will be unveiled post the Early Access period.

However, not all devices are compatible with Alexa+. 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. Amazon plans to expand Alexa+ to additional devices such as Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Alexa.com in the near future.
