Amazon Alexa+: Now Reads, Summarizes, and Recalls Long Documents
At Amazon's yearly Devices & Services shindig on Wednesday, they rolled out Alexa+, a souped-up version of their voice assistant, now juiced up with generative AI.
They showed off how you can toss documents at Alexa+ and it'll remember the nitty-gritty details, ready to answer your questions about them.
Mara Segal, the bigwig in charge of Alexa, gave us a few cool examples. Like, she asked Alexa+, "Hey, how much oil does grandma's zucchini bread recipe call for?" And bam, Alexa+ pulled the answer right out of the recipe that had been shared earlier.
Then there was this trickier setup where you could upload your Homeowners Association (HOA) rules and quiz Alexa+ on them. You know, those rules everyone kinda skims over.
Plus, you can send a bunch of emails from your kid's school to Alexa+, and it'll sift through and sum up the key points. It can even keep your calendar in check so you don't miss any school shindigs.
Amazon didn't stop there; they flaunted more Alexa+ tricks at the event. Like, you can skip to different parts of movies on Prime Video and boss around your smart home gadgets, moving tunes from one speaker to another in different rooms.

Alexa+ 정말 최고예요! 긴 문서를 읽고 요약해주는 기능이 너무 유용해요. 바쁜 생활에 큰 도움이 돼요. 다만, 더 많은 파일 형식을 지원해줬으면 좋겠어요. 그래도 필수 앱이에요! 🚀

¡Alexa+ es un cambio de juego! Es como tener un asistente personal que no solo lee, sino que también recuerda y resume documentos largos. ¡Super útil para mi vida ocupada! Ojalá pudiera manejar más tipos de archivos. Aún así, ¡es imprescindible! 🚀

Alexa+ é um divisor de águas! É como ter um assistente pessoal que não só lê, mas também lembra e resume documentos longos. Muito útil para minha vida agitada! Só gostaria que suportasse mais tipos de arquivos. Ainda assim, é indispensável! 🚀

알렉사 플러스는 정말 도움이 돼요! 문서를 넣으면 모든 것을 기억하니까, 이제는 서류 더미에 파묻힐 일도 없어요. 다만 처리 시간이 좀 걸리는 게 단점이지만, 기다릴 가치가 있어요!

O Alexa+ é um salva-vidas para mim! Posso jogar qualquer documento nele e ele lembra de tudo. É como ter um assistente pessoal que nunca esquece. A única coisa é que às vezes demora um pouco para processar, mas vale a pena esperar!

¡Alexa+ es un salvavidas para mí! Puedo lanzarle cualquier documento y recuerda todo. Es como tener un asistente personal que nunca olvida. Lo único es que a veces tarda un poco en procesar, pero vale la pena la espera.
