1 min read
Summary
Beginning at 10AM ET, Amazon will unveil new Alexa features along with new hardware and services, hoping to capitalise on the AI-powered Alexa theme.
Early reports suggest that the new service could cost between 5−10 per month on top of the Prime membership, which may undercut competitors such as Apple and Google, while providing Amazon with an additional revenue stream.
However, The Washington Post has reported that the release of the new version of Alexa will be delayed due to issues with inaccurate answers to test questions.
The new AI-powered Alexa service is likely to enable users to order dinner via Uber Eats or help write emails.
Amazon is also expected to unveil new Echos, updates to Amazon’s glasses, Fire TV platform, and other devices.
