Amazon is preparing new hardware products for Alexa assistant with artificial intelligence. Andy Jassy, CEO of the company, announced in an interview with Bloomberg that the new series of device, which he described as “eye -catching” in this autumn, will be introduced. Amazon is expected to focus on new generation of hardware compatible with artificial intelligence updates that make Alexa stronger.
On Wednesday, Amazon announced Alexa Plus, a more advanced and speaking -oriented version of Alexa. This new smart assistant can chat more naturally with users and perform more complex tasks such as calling Uber, finding a concert ticket. Although the company states that the majority of existing Alexa devices will support this new service, older generation Echo devices will be out of this scope. Alexa Plus’s monthly subscription fee is determined as $ 19.99, while Amazon Prime subscribers will be able to access this service without paying an additional fee.
Although Andy Jassy does not share more details about the features of the upcoming new devices, the company is expected to pay more attention to especially display devices. Panos Panay, Head of Amazon’s Department of Devices and Services, about the company’s future generation equipment orum I believe in the screens. I think they are largely important ”.
This approach seems to be reflected in the products that Amazon has launched in recent years. Following Panay’s joining the company in 2023, the Amazon announced a new Echo show model with a 21 -inch screen. This shows that the company’s interest in smart screen devices has increased and that it can invest more in this area in the coming period.
Amazon focused on expanding Alexa’s talents
Amazon’s new devices are expected to include significant changes in terms of design. The company has recently focused on expanding Alexa’s capabilities to increase the competition in the artificial intelligence -supported voice assistant market. Artificial intelligence -supported assistants developed by competitors such as Google and Apple in their ecosystems require Amazon to take more innovative steps in this field.
On the other hand, the increase in the investment in screen devices is considered a sign that Alexa is directed to a user experience supported by visual interfaces, not only to voice commands, but to visual interfaces. Amazon aims to use Alexa not only in sound but also with touch interaction with devices such as Echo Show with a large -screen Echo Show.
