TL;DR
- Amazon’s Alexa Plus voice assistant is getting a new hub on Fire TV devices, with improved reasoning and other upgrades.
- Alexa Plus is also making its way to the Fire TV mobile app to answer your movie/TV show-related queries even when you’re away from the TV.
- Amazon says some of these upgrades will start rolling out in November, while others won’t be widely available until next year.
Amazon released the Alexa Plus AI assistant in a limited capacity last year. Since then, we’ve seen it expand to more customers, and Amazon made it available for free to all Fire TV users in the US last month. Alexa Plus is now ready for its biggest update yet.
In addition to refreshing the Fire TV Stick lineup with new models today, the e-commerce giant has announced a significant revamp of Alexa Plus. Key among the new additions is a dedicated hub for the AI assistant on Fire TV devices, as well as overall improvements to its reasoning capabilities.
