Amazon reportedly gears up to release next-gen Alexa


Amazon may be gearing up to release a next-gen, AI-powered Alexa experience, according to reports.

Per the outlet’s report, Amazon plans to preview an upgraded version of Alexa, the company’s smart home assistant that runs on a number of first- and third-party devices, at an event on February 26. The revamped Alexa is said to be able to respond to multiple commands in sequence, in contrast with the current iteration, which generally handles only a single request at a time. The new Alexa will initially be available for a limited number of users for free, Reuters reports, although Amazon has been considering a $5 to $10 monthly fee.
