Amazon just introduced Alexa+, a smarter, more personalized version of its voice assistant. It’s designed to feel more natural when you talk to it and can handle more complex tasks—like making dinner reservations, managing smart home devices, and even helping with home repairs.
The best part? If you’re an Amazon Prime member, Alexa+ is free. If not, you can subscribe for $19.99 per month.
What Makes Alexa+ Different?
Unlike the Alexa you’re used to, Alexa+ is built on Amazon’s latest AI technology. That means it understands you better, responds more naturally, and can do more for you.
For example, instead of just listing nearby restaurants when you ask for dinner ideas, Alexa+ can book a table for you. Need to adjust the thermostat or dim the lights? It can handle that more smoothly, too.
Where Can You Use It?
Alexa+ will start rolling out on Echo Show devices first, but Amazon plans to expand it across Alexa-enabled devices, mobile apps, and even a web-based version in the coming months.
Should You Get It?
If you already have Amazon Prime, you’ll get Alexa+ automatically at no extra cost. If you don’t, the $19.99/month subscription might be worth it if you rely on Alexa a lot for managing your home and daily tasks.
Bottom line? Alexa+ is designed to feel more like a real assistant, not just a voice in a speaker. Whether you want help planning your day or controlling your smart home, this upgrade makes Alexa much more useful.
