Amazon is gearing up to launch a significantly upgraded version of its popular Alexa voice assistant. The new Alexa is expected to offer more natural conversation flow, the ability to handle complex questions, manage emails, and even place takeout orders, all through voice commands. Rumors also suggest a potential monthly subscription fee for access to these enhanced features.
After a very long wait, Amazon is reportedly poised to launch an exciting new version of its much-loved Alexa . The tech giant initially teased the makeover way back in 2023, promising a plethora of updates and a more natural interaction with the voice assistant.
Not only will the revamped Alexa manage tailored conversations, but rumours also suggest she'll tackle more complex questions, handle your emails, and even sort out your weekend takeaway orders using straightforward voice commands, reports the Express. As the end of the month approaches, all signs hint at the imminent full revelation, with Amazon dispatching invites for a glitzy reveal event in New York.
Best tech deals to shop To utilise Alexa, you'll need a compatible device, but once bought, there are no additional charges. However, the Wall Street Journal reports that this is costing Amazon billions in lost revenue.
