"We've eliminated the need for that Alexa-speak, such as 'turn on bedroom lamp two', you can just speak naturally. Alexa+ knows you, your home, your family. And is available anywhere, any time, as life does not happen in a chat box."
"After its early access launch last year in the US, the long-awaited generative AI upgrade Alexa+ is finally making its debut in the UK, supporting eight years of existing devices strewn through more than half of UK households."
Amazon introduces Alexa+, an AI-enhanced voice assistant now available in the UK after early access in the US. The upgrade enables natural language conversation without requiring specific commands, supports smart home control, calendar management, and proactive routines. Compatible with eight years of existing Echo and Show devices across over half of UK households, Alexa+ uses an invite system for current users while being immediately available for new device purchases. The service is free during early access, with future pricing at £19.99 monthly or included with Amazon Prime. Development involved Amazon's UK AI labs in Cambridge, though initial demos revealed pronunciation and terminology issues requiring further refinement.
