Amazon has a new version of its assistant. The name is Alexa+. Now, users can go to a website called Alexa.com to talk to the AI. You do not need an Echo speaker to use it. You only need a computer and an Amazon account.

The company also decided to overhaul the mobile app. The new app has a simple design. It looks like a chat window, similar to ChatGPT.The new design is agent-forward. This means Alexa+ helps you complete tasks. For example, it can add milk to your shopping list. It can also save a recipe for dinner. Alexa+ is very helpful because it has many third-party integrations. It works with other apps like Uber and Yelp. You can book a car or a restaurant with your voice or text. Amazon says Alexa+ is different because it focuses on families and the home.
