Pushy. Every day or two #Alexa asked if I wanted to try #AlexaPlus, and I said no every time. Yesterday Amazon apparently decided politeness was overrated, and upgraded me anyway, swapping the voice from that of a calm 40-year-old woman to an overly-perky 20-year-old. #AmazonAlexa
#Amazon führt automatische Upgrades auf #AlexaPlus durch - ohne Zustimmung der Nutzer. Die neue LLM-basierte Version soll konversationeller sein, erntet aber Kritik wegen Latenzen und fehlender Funktionen. https://winfuture.de/news,156135.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
For anyone with an #Amazon #Echo device without a physical volume ring, you can get early access to #AmazonAlexa's #AlexaPlus. Sadly, the on-screen UI is half baked. For example: Shown below is the legacy Amazon Alexa with a yellow bar indicating a notification on my Echo Show 5. That yellow bar goes away in "Plus".
My #AmazonEcho uses a yellow ring notification to try a free #AlexaPlus trial every couple days, even though I say no every time. Decided to try saying yes, and then immediately canceling. Will they get the message that I don’t want it?
I told #AlexaPlus a dad joke about bookstores. She understood the joke and inferred that it probably caused my wife to give me an eye roll that "could shutdown a bookstore faster than Amazon."
I was taken aback a bit by an #Amazon AI joking about killing bookstores!
🤖 Amazon lance Alexa+ sur le web pour affronter ChatGPT et Gemini
👉 https://www.justgeek.fr/amazon-alexa-plus-web-chatbot-ia-145436/
Amazon just launched a web-based version of Alexa+ 💻 that works without voice commands. The shift transforms Alexa from a smart speaker assistant into something closer to ChatGPT or Gemini, but with a focus on everyday tasks. Over 10 million users are already trying it. Read the article to see how this changes the AI assistant landscape ⚡
https://true-tech.net/alexa-plus-web-experience/
Alexa+ arriving on the web is a meaningful shift in how assistants work.
From a single interface you can:
- Chat with an AI that keeps context across devices
- Upload documents/emails so it can extract details, schedule events & remember them
- Control smart home devices
- Plan meals, trips, and entertainment with an assistant
Feels like Amazon is going all-in on agentic, cross-device assistance for everyday life.

You can finally chat with Amazon’s AI-enhanced Alexa+ on the web
The just-launched website lets you share files with Alexa+, manage shopping lists and to-do items, control smart home devices, and more.

In summary:
- Amazon has launched a web portal for Alexa+ at Alexa.com, providing early access users with a ChatGPT-like interface featuring suggested prompts and easy text copying capabilities.
- PCWorld reports the portal allows file uploads for document analysis and offers improved usability compared to previous voice-only interactions with Amazon’s AI assistant.
- Alexa+ remains free during early access, with future plans to offer it free to Prime members while charging non-Prime users a monthly fee.
It’s been nearly a year since Amazon first launched the new, AI-enhanced Alexa+, but until now, a key feature has been missing: the ability to access and chat with Alexa+ on the web.
Now it appears Amazon has fulfilled that promise, with an Alexa+ web portal finally going live—for at least some Alexa+ early access users, anyway—at Alexa.com.
The new Alexa+ web portal will look familiar to anyone who’s accessed ChatGPT or Google Gemini on the web. A big chatbox sits front and center, with a friendly “Hello Ben, how can I help?” heading, along with buttons that reveal suggested prompts (“Create a plan for my next getaway,” “Teach me a surprising fun fact,” “Add an event to my calendar,” “Create an image of a dinosaur,” “Book a table at a nearby restaurant”) on mouse rollover.
On the left side of the screen are shortcuts to your Alexa+ chat history (good for revisiting Alexa+ discussions you’ve had on an Echo speaker), smart home controls (just basic ones, mind you), your calendar, lists, reminders, and uploaded files.
That last feature—the ability to upload files to Alexa+—is a big one, as it allows you to do things like upload resumes for Alexa to tinker with, or any other documents you’d like Alexa to analyze.
Just for fun, I uploaded a configuration file for the Jellyfin media player installation on my Raspberry Pi, and Alexa+ did a reasonably good job of sifting through the code and offering optimization suggestions. (Alexa+ gets a decent chunk of its AI smarts courtesy of Anthropic’s Claude.) I then picked up the conversation on an Echo speaker, allowing Alexa and me to continue batting around Jellyfin ideas.
Another nifty thing about the new Alexa+ web portal is that it makes Alexa+’s ability to compose letters and other documents a lot more useful. Before, if you asked Alexa+ to write (for example) a thank-you letter to a friend, there was no easy way to grab the text and put it into a text editor for fine-tuning. (It’s possible to access Alexa+ chats in the Alexa app, but it’s a tedious process.) With the web portal, you can just click the Copy button beneath any Alexa+ response, just as you can with ChatGPT or Gemini.

Guess who just got access to Alexa+!!!!!!
The first annoying thing that I noticed is that my house is now in a mixed state. The Amazon devices have it but my Sonos devices do not. We will see how annoying this is.
One thing I do really like though is that I can refer to a window covering as blind,shade or curtain and it will still know to open them in the room. Had to be exact before.
