I’m at the Alexa+ launch in New York, where Amazon has just pulled back the curtain on its next-generation AI assistant. It’s an event I was very much looking forward to, because for years, voice assistants have been useful but limited, often feeling more like voice-controlled search engines than true AI companions. However, with Alexa+, Amazon is promising something different: a smarter, more conversational assistant that can manage complex tasks and integrate more deeply with your digital life.
