Alexa Plus Now Available on Select Echo Show Devices

There's a new Alexa in town – or at least in early access. Alexa+ is an upgrade from the standard Alexa voice assistant, powered by generative AI. The updated assistant comes with several new features, but the main attraction of Alexa+ is its ability to engage in more natural, flowing conversations. According to Amazon, "Alexa+ is more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done."

Alexa+ is currently available in Early Access, but only on a select few Echo Show devices – the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. If you own or purchase one of these devices, you can be among the first to experience Alexa+. Head to the link below to sign up for notifications about when Early Access will be available. After the Early Access period, Alexa+ will be available as a free Prime benefit or for non-Prime members at $19.99 per month.

Thanks to Alexa+'s conversational approach, you can ask it anything that comes to mind. It can assist with a variety of tasks, such as completing your to-do list, finding specific details from your calendar, booking a restaurant, and more. Amazon's Alexa+ Early Access page also mentions that "new features are being added regularly," so more details about the upgraded voice assistant are expected after the Early Access period.

Unfortunately, not all devices are compatible with Alexa+. Amazon notes 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 continue to use the old Alexa. The company states on the Alexa+ Early Access page that, "We will soon expand Alexa+ to more devices, including Fire TV and Fire tablets, and Alexa.com."
