"Alexa+ is Amazon's latest smart assistant and represents a fairly substantial upgrade from the old version. It's better at understanding conversational language and can theoretically be used to do stuff like make restaurant reservations."
"Amazon says that the assistant can be used to find songs based on context. It gives an example of a user asking the bot to 'play that song from that movie where the guy holds up the boombox outside his girlfriend's house.'"
"Amazon recently rolled out a handful of personality styles for Alexa+. I'm partial to the 'sassy' option, which likes to warn me that a pending notification is 'more boring than watching paint dry' before telling me about a dangerous and not-at-all boring blizzard."
Alexa+ is now available on several Bose products, including the upcoming Lifestyle Ultra Speaker and Soundbar. This integration signifies the first official use of Amazon's upgraded smart assistant outside its own devices. Alexa+ offers improved understanding of conversational language and can assist with tasks like making restaurant reservations. Users can request songs based on context, enhancing the music experience. Additionally, Amazon has introduced personality styles for Alexa+, including a 'sassy' option that adds humor to notifications.
