Amazon Unveils Alexa+ with Advanced Document Handling Capabilities

Amazon introduces Alexa+, a voice assistant enhanced with generative AI, capable of reading, summarizing, and recalling details from lengthy documents.

Amazon just dropped a bombshell at their annual Devices & Services shindig: meet Alexa+, the voice assistant that’s basically got a PhD in being helpful. This isn’t your grandma’s Alexa—oh no. It’s turbocharged with generative AI, ready to tackle everything from digesting your endless docs to remembering where you left your keys (okay, maybe not that last part). Imagine handing it a recipe and asking, “What’s the deal with these ingredients?” or dumping your HOA’s rulebook on it and getting the cliff notes. Yeah, it’s that smart.

But wait, there’s more (because of course there is). Alexa+ can also wrangle your email chaos into something resembling order, picking out the must-know info so you don’t miss your cousin’s wedding or that deadline you’ve been pretending doesn’t exist. And for the cherry on top? It’s now besties with Prime Video, letting you jump to your favorite scenes with a word, and it’s got your smart home on lockdown—music flowing from room to room like some kind of audio ninja. Pretty slick, right?
