# Alexa+

> Amazon's AI assistant for Echo devices, the web and the Alexa app

Alexa+ is the generative AI version of Amazon's Alexa assistant. It holds a conversation by voice or text, controls smart home devices, keeps lists and reminders, and can book or order through connected services such as OpenTable and Uber. A chat started on an Echo or Fire TV can continue in the Alexa app or in a browser at Alexa.com. A limited version is free, and full access comes with an Amazon Prime membership or a separate monthly plan.

## Ways to pay less

## Key features

- **Conversation by voice or text:** Talk or type in everyday language, interrupt, or change the subject partway through. Alexa+ keeps the context and remembers preferences you give it.
- **Chats that follow you across devices:** Start a conversation on an Echo or Fire TV, continue it in the Alexa app and pick it up in a browser at Alexa.com with the context intact.
- **Actions through connected services:** Services connected in the Alexa+ Store let it book Uber rides, reserve tables on OpenTable and get Ticketmaster tickets. Amazon says you confirm every action.
- **Smart home control:** Adjusts lights, locks and thermostats, shows camera highlights and builds routines from a spoken description. The Free plan controls devices from a computer or phone only.
- **Lists, reminders and planning:** Builds to-do and shopping lists, sets reminders on an Echo that reach your phone, and drafts plans, checklists and invitations for events.
- **Documents and photos as context:** Share documents, emails, photos and messages from a browser, the app or by email for Alexa+ to remember, summarize or act on, such as adding dates to a calendar.

## Good for

- Amazon Prime members, who get full access at no added cost
- Households that already use Echo, Fire TV or Ring devices
- Voice-led help with lists, reminders and smart home control

## Worth knowing

- There is no free Alexa+ experience on Echo devices: using it there needs Prime or the $19.99 Standard plan.
- Free-plan usage is limited each day, and Amazon says the limit varies with your activity and overall demand.
- Amazon lists general availability in the U.S. and Canada and early access in eight other countries, with features that vary by region.
- Older Echo devices, including Echo Dot 1st Gen, Echo Show 1st and 2nd Gen and Amazon Tap, stay on the original Alexa.
