Alexa Plus Launches on Select Echo Shows

Authore: OwenUpdate:Nov 30,2025

Meet Alexa+, the next-generation voice assistant currently in limited early access. This upgraded version of Alexa leverages generative AI to deliver more natural conversations and enhanced capabilities. Amazon describes Alexa+ as "more conversational, intelligent, and personalized - designed to help you accomplish tasks more efficiently."

During the Early Access phase, Alexa+ is exclusively available on select Echo Show models including the Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. Interested users can register for availability notifications. Post-Early Access, the service will be offered as a free Prime benefit or as a $19.99/month subscription for non-Prime members.

The new assistant's conversational interface allows for organic interactions - whether managing tasks, retrieving calendar information, making reservations, or other daily activities. Amazon confirms ongoing feature enhancements throughout the Early Access period, with additional updates expected post-launch.

Note that compatibility is currently limited to newer devices. First-generation Echo products (including Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Amazon Tap, and earlier Echo Show models) will continue using classic Alexa. Amazon plans future expansion to Fire TV, tablets, and Alexa.com in upcoming updates.
