Amazon and Apple revealed on their recent earnings calls how their voice assistants, Alexa+ and Siri, are progressing differently. Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged a delay in the rollout of an anticipated Siri upgrade, initially promised nearly a year ago, due to the need for further refinement. In stark contrast, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy highlighted the successful launch of Alexa+, reaching over 100,000 users shortly after its introduction, boasting AI enhancements that engage users. Both companies face challenges, with Alexa+ needing additional features that were demoed at launch.
Tim Cook addressed the delay for Siri and stated, "We need more time to complete our work on these features so they meet our high-quality bar."
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced that Alexa+ has surpassed 100,000 users since launch, emphasizing, "People are really liking Alexa+ thus far, and we have a lot more functionality that we plan to add in the coming months."
