Amazon has introduced Alexa+, a significant upgrade to its standard Alexa voice assistant, now available in Early Access. Powered by generative AI, Alexa+ promises a more natural conversational flow, making interactions feel more personal and seamless. According to Amazon, "Alexa+ is more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done." This new assistant can assist with various tasks, from managing your to-do list and calendar details to booking restaurant reservations and more.
Currently, Alexa+ is in its Early Access phase, exclusively available on select Echo Show devices: the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. If you own or plan to purchase one of these devices, you can sign up for notifications about Early Access availability through the provided link. Following the Early Access period, Alexa+ will become a free benefit for Amazon Prime members, or available for a monthly fee of $19.99 to non-Prime users.

Amazon is continuously enhancing Alexa+ with new features being added regularly, so expect more exciting updates post-Early Access. However, not all devices are compatible with Alexa+. Older generation Echo devices like 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+ compatibility to more devices soon, including Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Alexa.com.
