Amazon is reportedly aiming to launch its new AI-powered Alexa in August. The revamped voice assistant, dubbed "Remarkable Alexa," will be available in two different tiers, both of which will be powered by AI but only one of which will be free5. Amazon is considering charging at least $5 a month for access to the higher tier Alexa and potentially as much as $10 a month, according to sources.
The paid version of Alexa is expected to offer the ability to complete multiple requests in one prompt, such as writing a short email and ordering takeout from Uber Eats. This feature is intended to make interactions with the AI assistant more seamless and efficient.
Amazon's enhanced Alexa, powered by AI, is expected to come with a monthly subscription fee of $5 to $10. This new version of Alexa will offer advanced features such as completing multiple requests in one prompt, learning from users, and providing personalized shopping advice. The existing free version of Alexa will still be available but with limited capabilities.
