Amazon's generative AI-powered digital assistant, Alexa+, has begun its rollout to over 100,000 users, as revealed by CEO Andy Jassy during the earnings call. Although this number is small relative to the 600 million Alexa devices available, the company is optimistic about future features. Alexa+ is designed for more natural interaction and aims to perform tasks using third-party apps, though many promised features are not yet accessible. Jassy acknowledged that the technology is still developing and has low accuracy rates, but he expects improvements in functionality soon.
As Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy stated on the earnings call, "We have a lot more functionality that we plan to add in coming months." This showcases the ongoing development of Alexa+ and its potential.
Jassy commented on the performance of multi-step AI agents, pointing out their current "primitive" and "inaccurate" state, with accuracy rates ranging between 30% to 60%, indicating a significant area for improvement.
