The updated Amazon digital wizard promoted by the generative AI, Alexa+, has implemented more than 100,000 users, said CEO Andy Jassy in the company’s profit call on Thursday.
While that is far from the 600 million Alexa devices, the company is constantly progressing in the launch of Alexa+, which was first presented in February. At that time, Amazon said Alexa+ would launch in waves in the coming months.
The new Amazon digital assistant aims to allow users to talk to him in a more natural style, and anyone has agent skills that allow him to use third -party applications in those of a user. Alexa+ should be able to generate original responses on the march, as well as the voice modes in the OpenAi chatgpt and Gemini of Google, instead of the predetermined responses of the old Alexa and Siri systems.
However, as the Washington Post reported in the launch, the Alexa+ that is being implemented today lacks some of the key characteristics that the company demonstrated in February. The report indicates that, at the launch, Alexa+ did not have the ability to use third -party applications such as Grubhub, generate a story to bed for children or make a rain of ideas of a gift idea. It is not clear when these characteristics will arrive in Alexa+.
“We have much more functionality that we plan to add in the coming months,” Jassy said in the call.
Duration of his initial comments, Jassy said Alexa+ is one of the first agents of action oriented for consumers. But he pointed out that this technology is still quite “primitive and” inaccurate. ” Currently, most several -steps AI agents have a low precision rate, between 30% and 60%, said the Amazon CEO. Jassy established a goal for the company’s web navigation agent promoted by Alexa+, the Nova Law, to achieve 90% accuracy in this domain.
Alexa+ Amazon’s deployment seems to be progressing faster than Apple’s deployment or his new Siri with Motor LLM. When asked about Siri’s new delays in Apple’s profit call, which occurred simultaneously with those of Amazon, CEO Tim Cook said the company needed “more time to complete the work.”

Along the way to digital assistants inherited from supercharging with generative, both Apple and Amazon have encountered hooks and delays. Some of the biggest problems are around the LLM to use tools and integrate with other systems. Doing it allows Alexa and Siri to complete practical tasks, such as establishing timers and reading texts, but implementing it has shown more difficult than expected.
