Amazon presented a compelling vision for an advanced future with its improved Alexa, now dubbed Alexa+. This new iteration aims to handle a wide array of everyday tasks autonomously, utilizing generative AI to interact seamlessly with various applications and services. Given the company’s past struggles with Alexa's profitability, a successful rollout of these capabilities could position Amazon as a frontrunner in the AI agent landscape. While there is optimism surrounding AI agents, they have yet to fully deliver on their promises of efficiency and productivity, often requiring human intervention.
We believe that the future is full of agents - we have believed this for some time. There will be many AI agents out there doing things for customers.
Agents promise to knock out low-hanging chores and agenda items, boosting people's - and businesses' - overall productivity. That's the idea, at least.
Amazon has invested for years in Alexa without significant revenue to show for it; the company's hardware division has reportedly burned through billions of dollars.
...agents should interact with each other. They should interoperate seamlessly for customers.
