- Amazon has launched early access to Alexa+ for selected users, but some features are missing
- Not all the characteristics shown in its February launch event will be immediately available, and instead they will be implemented in the coming months in the coming months
- While Alexa+ is only available in Echo Show 8, 10, 15 and 21, we hope it will reach more devices echo as there are more characteristics available.
When Amazon announced its new voice assistant from Alexa+ AIII, we were more than excited to finally see Amazon’s response to Chatgpt and Apple Intelligence come alive. In our blog live we speculate a roll of March 31, and it seems that we were correct since Alexa+ began to implement the selected users in the US.
During the Amazon device event in February, the company was proud to show off the voice and AI of Alexa+ AI, but a Washington Post report has identified that Alexa+ lacks a series of useful characteristics. They will be announced in waves in the coming months, but feels like a promise broken in some way.
What’s lack of Alexa+?
Amazon promised a variety of new features for Alexa+ that provided a more interactive and personal experience with the voice assistant, especially his ability to offer food recommendations and make orders through Grubhub based on what he yearns for. This characteristic has the potential to be a saving grace for undecided food lovers, but has been delayed until new notice.
Other useful generative features have disappeared from Alexa +’s early access, including their ability to make a brainstorm about gift ideas when gift purchase pressures become too intense, and their story mode function for children has also been delayed. The publication has also seen that Alexa+ lacks the ability to visually identify family members in their home, which were demonstrated in their launch event, and the web version for Alexa+ is not available for now.
According to the initial report of the publication, Amazon has declared that these characteristics are missing in Alexa+ simply because “they still do not meet the Amazon standards for public launch.” It is reassuring that Amazon has plans to increase the characteristics of Alexa+, but he will only have to stay patient for a few more months.
So what can Alexa+ do at this time?
Despite the missing characteristics, Alexa +’s early launch is not totally mediocre. Since he began to implement yesterday (March 31) Alexa+ can ask for an uber, look for private products and email drafts. While you will have to wait a little more for the integration of Grubhub with Alexa+, you can still use the voice assistant to give you advice on what to cook.
Alexa+ can be accessed for a monthly subscription rate of $ 19.99, but Amazon Prime members will have full access for free.
