Meet the new kid on the block: Alexa+. This upgraded version of the familiar voice assistant is now in Early Access and is powered by generative AI, promising a more natural conversational experience. According to Amazon, "Alexa+ is more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done." If you're eager to dive into this enhanced interaction, you'll need one of the select Echo Show devices: the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, or 21. You can sign up for notifications about the Early Access availability at the link below. Once the Early Access phase concludes, Alexa+ will be offered as a free perk for Amazon Prime members or available to non-Prime users for $19.99 per month.

With Alexa+'s conversational prowess, you can now ask it anything that comes to mind, making it easier to manage tasks like completing your to-do list, retrieving specific calendar details, booking restaurant reservations, and more. Amazon's Alexa+ Early Access page assures that "new features are being added regularly," hinting at exciting developments post-Early Access.
However, not all devices will get to experience Alexa+ right away. Amazon has stated that certain older generation Echo devices, including the Echo Dot 1st Gen, Echo 1st Gen, Echo Plus 1st Gen, Amazon Tap, Echo Show 1st Gen, Echo Show 2nd Gen, and Echo Spot 1st Gen, will stick with the original Alexa. But there's good news on the horizon: Amazon plans to expand Alexa+ to more devices soon, including Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Alexa.com.
