It’ll cost $20 per month but will be free for Amazon customers.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know about Amazon’s new and improved virtual assistant.<\/p>\n

Alexa’s Generative AI Era<\/p>\n

Amazon says Alexa+ is \u201csmarter than she’s ever been before,” capable of picking up on your tone and delivering answers in a more empathetic voice. It even has more powerful visual capabilities.<\/p>\n

During a live demo, Panos Panay, who heads up Amazon’s Devices and Services department, used an Echo Show to snap a photo of the live audience and asked whether folks looked energetic. The crowd applauded at the start of the interaction, and Alexa+ analyzed the picture and said everyone looked \u201cpretty fired up,” pointing out finer details like how people had laptops open, and that all eyes were on Panay.<\/p>\n
