Alexa Plus was introduced; A great transformation in Amazon’s artificial intelligence assistant

Long after the introduction of Google and Microsoft artificial intelligence tools, Amazon has finally unveiled its new and advanced version of its assistant Alexa Plus, which uses productive artificial intelligence.

Amazon unveiled Alexa Plus today in an event in New York. The company’s artificial intelligence assistant now uses a new user interface and becomes smarter, more interactive and more personalized and can do different things. The voice of the Amazon assistant has also changed.

Alexa Plus Amazon’s smart and advanced capabilities

In a video shown at the event, the Alexa Plus could do a variety of tasks from hotel booking, buying a concert ticket and offering suggestion about cooking to smart home control, sending messages to the audience, adding events to the calendar and playing music. But it seems to have different access to services, devices and apps to do this. Amazon says his assistant will work with tens of thousands of third -party services.

Alexa Plus is taught with emotional intelligence and humor and can recognize the environment of the user. Amazon’s senior vice president and services, Panus Panai, took a picture of the venue at the event and sent it to Alexa Plus and asked for artificial intelligence about the audience. So it seems that this tool is a multi -faceted tool and in addition to the processing of the text, it can understand the image.

Panai says Alexa+ can understand the tone of the user’s talk. For example, if a person is stressed, artificial intelligence will try to calm him.

Panai claims that the Alexa Plus can transform the control of the smart home. In a demo, he shows how this artificial intelligence assistant is able to move the sound of a song that is played from a point in the room to another speaker. While doing this, the user may notice that the music is not played in a way that his child wakes up; This will not automatically distribute the sound from the speaker near the child’s room.

Another part of the event showed that Alexa+ was integrated with other Amazon services such as Ring. Artificial intelligence can access the alarm videos in the smart ring and look for specific events.

Amazon says Alexa can now read different documents. You can send your PDF files, time programs and calendars for the company’s artificial intelligence and ask about them.

Alexa Plus’s artificial intelligence assistant also has two children’s features: Stories and Explore. The first feature can tell the story for children and tell the story according to their interest. The second capability is also able to answer children’s questions and, for example, to raise them.

Alexa+ uses the Amazon Bedrock platform to access large language models. Among the models used for this service are the anthropic and Amazon Nova models. Amazon says the new Alexa is not dependent on a particular model and will always use the best model. The company has also collaborated with hundreds of news and information sources to get the data needed to provide users.

Alexa Plus will be available through Alexa.com website and a new mobile app. The cost of using this artificial intelligence service is $ 19 a month, but if you have Amazon Prime subscription, you can use it for free. Early access to Alexa Plus begins next month. Amazon says the service works on almost all the Al -Akasa devices that the company has offered.
