Amazon updated digital assistant, powered by Generation AI, Alexa+, has supported over 100,000 users, said CEO Andy Jassy in calling company profits on Thursday.
While this is far from 600 million Alexa devices there, the company is making some advances in the participation of Alexa+, which was first discovered in February. At the time, Amazon said Alexa+ would roll in waves over the coming months.
Amazon’s new digital assistant aims to allow users to talk to her in a more natural style, and eventually have agents that allow her to use third -party applications on behalf of a user. Alexa+ should be able to generate original flight responses, just like the voice modes in Openai’s chatgt and Google twins, rather than the predetermined responses of old Alexa and Syria systems.
However, as the Washington Post reported at the departure, Alexa+ today lacks some of the main features that the company demonstrated in February. The report notes that, at the start, Alexa+ did not have the opportunity to use third -party applications like Grubhub, generate a story of children’s sleep, or brain storm a gift idea. It is unclear when those traits will make it at Alexa+.
“We have much more functionality we plan to add the next few months,” Jassy said on the phone.
During his opening comments, Jassy claimed that Alexa+ is one of the first agents of the action oriented to consumers. But he noted that this technology is still quite “primitive” and “incorrect”. Currently, most of the multi -step agents have a low degree of accuracy, between 30% and 60%, said Amazon’s CEO. Jassy set a goal for the company’s internet browsing agent that empowers Alexa+, Nova ACT, to achieve 90% accuracy in this area.
Amazon’s participation of Alexa+ seems to be progressing faster than Apple’s participation for her new Syria, with LLM. When asked about Syria’s new delays in calling Apple’s Thursday, which happened at the same time with Amazon’s CEO Cook said the company needed “more time to finish work”.

Along the way to Legacy Legacy’s digital assistants with the generating one, both Apple and Amazon are said to have passed on snags and delays. Some of the biggest hiccups are about getting LLMs to use tools and integrate with other systems. Doing thus allows Alexa and Syria to complete practical tasks such as setting up and reading texts, but its implementation has proven more than expected.
