"Alexa+ has been conversationally answering user questions since 2014. Now, in a dramatic and consequential upgrade, Alexa+ has been upgraded to allow users to generate a conversational answer staged by AI-generated co-hosts. The whole thing is meant to simulate an instantly produced podcast based on the user's initial prompt."
"Alexa+ eases the user into this scheme providing a summary breakdown of the answer first, allowing listeners to adjust the eventual audio by choosing tone, and length. Then the faux-podcast streams directly through the Alexa speaker."
"This feature is free to Alexa+ subscribers, or $19.99 per month for non-Prime users. Amazon says that these Q/A episodes are sourced from 200 news publications and "a wide range of sources.""
Alexa+ has been upgraded to produce conversational, podcast-style answers generated by AI co-hosts based on a user’s initial prompt. The system first provides a summary breakdown so listeners can adjust the eventual audio. Users can choose the tone and length of the generated response before it plays. The faux-podcast then streams directly through the Alexa speaker. The service is available free for Alexa+ subscribers and costs $19.99 per month for non-Prime users. The Q/A episodes are sourced from 200 news publications and a wide range of sources.
