The new soup -up Alexa Voice Assistant, Alexa Plus, has to reach the initial access preview in the next few weeks. The good news is that as long as you have (buy (or buy) (or buy) (or buy) (or buy), you will be able to use a generato-Alexa in any sync Eco device. The fire will also work in TV devices, fire pills, Alexa.com on the web, and Alexa app.
Sadly, some Eco -devices will be left out of the party. Many early models, including First Jain Eco Dot, Eco, and Eco Show, are not being upgraded. Similarly, it will not work on devices with the built -in Alexa, such as the Sonos Speaker or the Acobe Smart Tirmostat Launch, but it can come to these people in the future. Amazon spokesman Lauren Rim Helide said Stuffy That you can still use the original Alexa on these devices.
If you want to be with the original digital voice assistant, this is still an option – for now
The initial rollout of Alexa Plus will be limited to people who own the aforementioned show equipment. To access, go to Amazon’s new Alexa Plus Landing PageTap the link, “Alexa+ is coming soon”, and sign in to your Amazon account. Once you get access, you will get an email and notifications on your Eco devices, and then you can choose a new experience, “says Rim Helide.
In early access, Alexa Plus will be free but eventually it. 19.99 monthly membership or Amazon prime membership will be required.
The new Alexa Plus is a very different voice support from Alexa you know and (maybe?) Love. The Generative AI will be able to understand and respond to the natural language, Alexa Plus, to respond to your choice and dislike, respond to emotions in your voice, and to talk back and forth with you in a more conversation manner – every time you speak, without saying “Alexa”.
This means that you will be able to say things like, “Alexa, I’m cold, and here’s very dark,” and the assistant should know the lights and the heat. With the old Alexa, you will need to say a specific command, such as “Alexa, turn on living room lights,” and “Set Alexa, thermostat at 68 degrees.”
According to the company, its new “brain” will also be able to take action on numerous commands at the same time, such as “Alexa, turn on lights, change the heat, start playing NPR, and tell me what’s in my schedule.” Now it should be able to perform more complex tasks, such as ordering a grocery and booking tables in a restaurant. It will also allow you to add numerous events to your calendar – you have to take a picture of your daughter’s football schedule and upload it to the app. Recently. , Amazon aims to become a real digital assistant Alexa Plus.
But what will happen to the old Alexa? If you want to remain with the original digital voice assistant, this is still an option – for now, at least. The head of devices and services in Amazon, Panos Panaye, said Stuffy That they will keep the original Alexa updated but their focus is on the new version. If you have any previous, non -Alexa compatible devices, you can continue to use Alexa there. New devices, do not sign up for just Alexa Plus. If you have any favorite skills you use, you want to stay with the old Alexa because at least, not every skill is eliminated.
As Johnko Rotors First reported in Lou PassWhen Alexa Plus launches, it will be “many of the many skills of currently available at the original Alexa.” Amazon has a transfer plan, told Lou Pass toldFor, for, for,. “Alexa+ will be supported from the beginning with the vast majority of original Alexa skills that users use.” This means that at least nothing will be there.
So, do my son’s beloved? Padna joke skills At risk? Not necessarily. Ram Held says if you find out that the skills you used are missing, you can tell Amazon, and it will “work to enable them on Alexa+.” Rim Held also shared that developers can request their abilities to be available in Alexa Plus or make something new to a new assistant. “We are Announced three new AI-Native SDKS for Alexa Plus“She says.
But Rotors reports that Amazon has not yet published detailed guidelines about the transfer of existing skills for developers. He talked to several developers who are suspected of this possible transfer, especially whether they can continue to monitor their abilities. Amazon has rejected his Alexa Plus experience on using his “agent” capabilities to tighten current APIS and to visit websites and online services, which essentially eliminate middle men.
Amazon’s future fully focused on Alexa Plus and the original Alexa, as well as, apparently on the way, it is probably a tragic day for all these mockery fun skills.
