Amazon has just organized an event in New York to reveal the long -awaited . This refreshing assistant can perform many new tasks, thanks to an AI magic, and there are different ways for consumers to access the digital companion. There is vocal activation with echo devices, of course, but the company has also built a .
This portal will allow Amazon customers to interact with Alexa + without having to start the application or interact with an intelligent speaker or an intelligent screen. This could be practical to make adjustments to work or for those who feel comfortable writing long queries with a traditional keyboard. Consumers will also be able to continue to use the application, but Amazon promises to overhaul in the near future to adapt to new features offered by Alexa +.
For uninitiated, Alexa + is a longtime chatbot. He takes advantage of conversational AI and integration with Amazon Services to help users in several ways. He has a contextual consciousness, he can therefore remember the previous parts of a conversation and can perform relatively complex tasks. The company has shown demos of the assistant finding recipes, reserving dinner reservations, looking for the good part of a film and much more.
It looks pretty cool, but it is also quite expensive. Alexa + is starting to deploy in the coming weeks to select echo devices and costs $ 20 per month. However, it is free for the premium subscribers. Prime currently costs $ 15 per month in the United States. Hopefully this price will not increase with the inclusion of Alexa +.
