Meet the new kid on the block: Alexa+. This isn't just any upgrade from the standard Alexa voice assistant; it's powered by generative AI, promising a more engaging and seamless user experience. Amazon boasts that "Alexa+ is more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done." With Alexa+, you can expect conversations to flow naturally, making interactions feel more like chatting with a friend than commanding a device.
Currently, Alexa+ is in its Early Access phase, but you can only experience it on select Echo Show devices: the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. If you're eager to be among the first to try it out, head to the link below to sign up for notifications on when Early Access will open up. Post-Early Access, Alexa+ will become a free benefit for Amazon Prime members, or available to non-Prime users for $19.99 per month.

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 ready to assist. And the excitement doesn't stop there; Amazon's Alexa+ Early Access page hints at "new features being added regularly," suggesting that more enhancements are on the horizon following the Early Access period.
However, not all devices will get 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 stick with the original Alexa. But don't worry, Amazon plans to expand Alexa+ to more devices soon, including Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Alexa.com.
