Introducing Alexa+, the latest evolution of Amazon's voice assistant, now available in Early Access. Powered by generative AI, Alexa+ enhances the conversational experience, making interactions smoother and more natural. Amazon describes it as "more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done." This upgrade is currently accessible on select Echo Show devices, including the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. If you're eager to be among the first to try it out, you can sign up for notifications at the link provided below. Post-Early Access, Alexa+ will be a complimentary benefit for Amazon Prime members or available for a monthly fee of $19.99 to non-Prime users.

With its conversational capabilities, Alexa+ is designed to handle a wide array of tasks effortlessly. Whether you need help with your to-do list, finding specific events on your calendar, or making restaurant reservations, Alexa+ is at your service. The Early Access page hints at continuous updates, promising even more features and enhancements following the initial rollout.
However, not all devices will support Alexa+ right away. Older models such as 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. Amazon has plans to extend Alexa+ compatibility to more devices soon, including Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Alexa.com.
