There's an exciting new development for Alexa users - the introduction of Alexa+, an upgraded version of the standard Alexa voice assistant. Currently available in Early Access, Alexa+ leverages generative AI to offer a more natural and conversational interaction. According to Amazon, "Alexa+ is more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done." This enhanced assistant is designed to seamlessly integrate into your daily life, assisting with tasks such as managing your to-do list, retrieving specific calendar details, and even booking restaurant reservations.
Currently, Alexa+ is exclusively accessible through a select few 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 sign up for notifications to be among the first to try Alexa+ during its Early Access phase. Simply visit the link provided below to stay updated on when Early Access will become available. Following the Early Access period, Alexa+ will be offered as a complimentary benefit for Amazon Prime members, or for a monthly fee of $19.99 for non-Prime users.

With Alexa+, you can engage in more natural conversations, asking questions or seeking assistance as thoughts arise. Amazon's Alexa+ Early Access page highlights that "new features are being added regularly," suggesting that users can look forward to more enhancements and capabilities post-Early Access.
It's important to note that not all devices will support Alexa+ right away. Older models such as 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 operate with the original Alexa. However, Amazon has announced plans to expand Alexa+ compatibility to include Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Alexa.com in the near future.
