Almost all the time spent during the 'Devices and Services' event of February 26, it was in Alexa Plus. It is the brightness that we have been waiting for, apparently making Alexa much more natural, the most intelligent and potentially useful leagues.
Even so, at the center of all demonstrations, including those led by the main devices of Panay Panay, it was a device, the Echo Show 21. It is the largest smart screen in Amazon and the Alexa interface of the largest touch screen, which admits a new user interface of Alexa Plus (UI) by Alexa Plus in the launch.
Both attributes probably made it easier to demonstrate Alexa's new tricks to a large audience on stage and demonstration rooms, but still speaks with the greatest ambitions of Amazon. With Alexa Plus, you can talk more by talking, interrupting it when necessary as you would have when talking to another person, all without repeating the word of Estela.
But it is also a tactile experience, now more than ever. When he asks Alexa to call an Uber service or other shared service for his friend from Newark airport in New Jersey to an office in New York City, Alexa will read the first option. However, you can also touch to select any travel level that is better for your needs to accelerate interaction.
The same goes for asking Alexa to verify if someone walked with the dog: they can get all the recent ring video alerts in which a dog is shown. Instead of waiting for everyone to go through them, you can slide with a finger at the bottom of the screen user interface. Despite how impressive it is to chat with the new Alexa, the interface was designed with touch in mind.
In addition, Amazon will give you the first DIBS on trying Alexa Plus, well, access to the service during the initial implementation phase, if you have a home with an echo show 8, 10, 15 or 21. Keep in mind that you must be in the United States with a main membership or pay $ 19.99 per month.
The screen part of Alexa's experience is more critical than ever. It is not just to show a weather graph that represents the conditions outside or to show a fun GIF when you ask Alexa to a joke. His Echo program is not even just to broadcast a television show or a prime video movie. Beyond just chatting with Alexa, Amazon wants you to interact with Alexa Plus with Touch.
That is almost a resentment, and that is ideal for Amazon, or at least, I think that if you ask them, to put the importance of obtaining an echo show in your home in the highest place on the list. I already find the eco show by hand. It is a multipurpose screen that potentially allows you to save your phone. With the echo show 21 and Alexa Plus, while requesting help to order groceries, make reservations for dinner or even ensure innings for concerts, you can have a natural conversation with AI and jump in contact when necessary.
And even if you only have an echo show in the kitchen or mounted on the wall in a corridor, it can always be the central device for your consultations. Let's say you really want to get tickets for Bruce Springsteen on your next European tour or for Sabrina Carpenter, I mean, we all want to listen Busy woman LIVE: You can start asking Alexa Plus at an echo point for tickets, but instead of listening to a list of all available sections, you say: “Show me in my echo program (or even the echo of the kitchen, if it is)” and from there you can move and see visuals of all the locations of the seats. That could really be useful, you also get the additional benefits of a larger screen echo.
It is part of the biggest Amazon game here: get an echo screen in everyone's house. I am in favor, especially after seeing the experience of ordering Amazon Fresh and letting Alexa Plus do some heavy work. That is incredible, but they are also the most intelligent reminders and the fact that it works as a television, a shared calendar and much more.
It also fits with the strategy of other brands. Samsung comes to mind first, since they drive the idea of a screen everywhere, from a real television to a screen in, say, its refrigerator, stove and dryer or washing machine. That technological giant will not make an intelligent screen, but it is rumored that Apple, on the other hand, enters this category with a device that could mark a great victory for its homemade ecosystem, which has had its speed blows.
However, Amazon has a unique opportunity to finish with a screen in most users' houses. For a long time an Eco show is offered in various sizes, being 5 and 8 some of the most affordable, so there is a good possibility that you already have one. Alexa Plus will probably excite him with an infusion of AI that is much more natural and will make the smart home easy to control, advanced routines and everything, in a device that is not a phone.
