"With the update, Amazon says you can give Alexa Plus a topic, and the AI assistant will offer an overview of what its AI hosts plan to talk about, allowing you to steer the conversation and adjust its length before it starts generating the episode."
"Some "Alexa Podcast" examples shared by Amazon have two AI-generated hosts talking about the history of the Roman Empire, new music, and expectations for the World Cup. Amazon says you can also ask Alexa Plus to generate audio lessons about the Apollo missions, or create a podcast episode about a new hobby, like photography."
"Amazon says the AI-generated podcast episodes will draw information from the 200 news publications the company has partnered with, including Reuters, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, Vox, and Politico."
"You'll receive a notification on your Echo Show device and the Alexa app once the episode is finished. You can tap the notification to play the episode, as well as access it through the Music and More on the Echo Show, or with the Alexa app."
Alexa Plus can generate podcast episodes on virtually any topic. A user can provide a topic, receive an overview of what the AI hosts will cover, and steer the conversation by adjusting the episode length before generation begins. Example podcasts include discussions about the history of the Roman Empire, new music, and expectations for the World Cup. Users can also request audio lessons about the Apollo missions or podcasts about new hobbies such as photography. Episodes use information from 200 partnered news publications, including Reuters, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, Vox, and Politico. After completion, users get a notification on Echo Show and in the Alexa app, with playback available through Music and More or the Alexa app.
