Alexa Plus is the latest iteration of Amazon's voice assistant, promising a more conversational and context-aware experience. The new Alexa can understand natural language commands, allowing users to express their needs without memorizing specific phrases. It demonstrates advanced AI capabilities, such as reasoning, which enables it to perform tasks like controlling smart bulbs and thermostats with ease. This improved interaction style aims to streamline user experience, making it easier for anyone in the home to communicate with the device effectively and intuitively.
The biggest change is how Alexa can respond to natural language; the demo showed that you can talk to it and say what you want rather than having to remember specific commands.
The GE Cync smart bulbs and light strips in the room responded, despite the request not including a room or specific names for each device.
Alexa was apparently able to 'reason' that meant the lamp named 'Sofa lamp.' This should mean no more memorizing specific device names, making it easier for anyone in the home.
I asked it to dim the lights and 'make it a little warmer.' The thermostat adjusted while the lights dimmed. Alexa said, 'I dimmed the lights in the living room and increased the temperature.'
