Alexa+

What it does

Alexa+ takes in spoken or typed requests, plus context from your household, devices and connected services, and returns answers, multi-step actions and smart home control. It can handle several requests in one prompt, such as lowering lights while starting music, keep context across topics, generate images and personal briefings, and organize research into structured reports.

People use it through the Alexa app, Alexa.com, Fire TV, Alexa Tablets and compatible Echo devices. Its distinct features are context and memory across conversations, multi-task handling, and links to Amazon services such as Prime Video, Amazon Music, Amazon Photos, Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh, and ride and food ordering.

Alexa+ suits Amazon households and people already using Echo, Fire TV or Prime. A free limited tier is available on Alexa.com, the app and select devices, with daily usage limits. Full access on Echo devices requires Prime or the $19.99/month Standard plan. The page says Update 12 is first available in English for US accounts, and some features depend on device and region.
