I asked Alexa Plus to tackle my to-do list - it mostly failed
Briefly

Amazon's Alexa Plus enhances communication by eliminating the need for precise phrasing, allowing for more natural interactions. It can operate as an 'AI agent' for various tasks such as making restaurant reservations, booking tickets, or finding services like electricians. However, its functionality is restricted by partnerships with specific services, limiting its performance in broader applications. Despite its potential, Alexa's AI agent does not currently offer enough seamless features to replace a human personal assistant. Alexa Plus is still in Early Access beta, with further integrations, like grocery ordering, anticipated in the future.
