Amazon Unveils Alexa+ to Rival AI Chatbots, Expanding Beyond Voice Commands
Amazon has unveiled Alexa+, a revamped version of its voice assistant, to rival AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Initially focused on the home, Alexa+ brings new features and expands beyond voice commands. Alexa+ can now chat with users, mimicking AI chatbots, and is gradually rolling out in the US. Amazon envisions a future where Alexa+ reminds users to feed pets or lock doors at night, with Amazon's Ring security cameras playing a key role by analyzing home patterns. The company also plans to use Ring cameras to locate lost pets in the neighborhood. Starting with dogs, the 'Search Party' feature will later include cats. Alexa+ is set to expand beyond the home, with integration into cars and other locations in the pipeline. Alexa+ is Amazon's response to the growing AI chatbot landscape. While it's currently rolling out in the US, Germany is next, though no specific timeline has been given. Amazon's Ring cameras will enhance Alexa+'s capabilities, with pet tracking and home pattern analysis. The future sees Alexa+ expanding beyond the home, integrating into cars and other places.
