New Alexa Features
Amazon’s upcoming Alexa voice assistant, dubbed “Remarkable Alexa,” will primarily utilize Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence model.
Replacing In-House AI
This replaces Amazon’s in-house AI models that struggled with words and user prompts.
Launch Details
The new Alexa is expected to launch in mid-October with features like:
- Daily AI-generated news summaries
- A child-focused chatbot
- Conversational shopping tools
Performance Improvement
The improved Alexa will reportedly be powered by Claude, which has shown better performance than Amazon’s own AI models.
Pricing
Amazon may offer the new Alexa as a subscription-based service, priced between $5 to $10 per month, while maintaining the current “Classic Alexa” as a free option.
