Some days, when working from home I spend more time talking to robots than my fellow humans, so it’s nice to seeAmazon’sAlexagiven an AI upgrade that really helps her find her voice.
Previewed at Amazon’s 2023 Devices launch, the generative AI upgrade has made Alexa much easier to talk to. The integration of a new LLM (Large-language-model) means that not only does it talk more realistically and with a smoother tone, but it has also had a host of useability upgrades.
Not only do you now no longer need to keep using the wake word ‘Alexa’ for every question but it will be more opinionated and human. In a demo at the event, Amazon VP Dave Limp asked it what football (American football) team it supported and it came back with the answer “Well I’m from Seattle so I love the SeaHawks”.

It’s nice to see Alexa given a bit more personality as she approaches her 10th birthday, particularly with AI chatbots booming in popularity and performance.
