Get ready to meet the next generation of voice assistance with Alexa+, the upgraded version of the standard Alexa, now enhanced with generative AI. Currently available in Early Access, Alexa+ promises a more natural, conversational interaction. Amazon describes it as "more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done." This innovative update is set to transform the way you interact with your devices, making everyday tasks smoother and more intuitive.
Early Access to Alexa+ is exclusive to a select range of Echo Show devices: the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. If you own or are planning to purchase one of these models, you can be among the first to experience Alexa+.

With its conversational approach, Alexa+ is designed to handle a wide array of tasks effortlessly. Whether you need help completing your to-do list, finding specific details from your calendar, or booking a restaurant, Alexa+ is there to assist. Amazon's Alexa+ Early Access page highlights that "new features are being added regularly," suggesting that users can expect even more capabilities post-Early Access.
However, not all devices will be able to enjoy Alexa+ right away. Amazon has specified that certain older generation Echo devices, including 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. The company assures that "We will soon expand Alexa+ to more devices, including Fire TV and Fire tablets, and Alexa.com," promising broader compatibility in the near future.
