Alexa+, Amazon’s AI-powered digital assistant, is coming to a browser near you.
The internet’s largest retailer announced Monday that it has launched Alexa.com, a website that lets Alexa+ users access the AI assistant in a web browser, with some caveats.
Initially, access to the site will be limited to Alexa+ Early Access users. When the early access period ends, all Amazon Prime members will be able to access Alexa+ for free. Non-Prime members can buy a standalone subscription for US$19.95 a month.
With over 600 million Alexa-enabled devices purchased worldwide, Alexa is already deeply integrated into daily life, Amazon explained in a statement, but to truly serve as a personal assistant, Alexa+ needs to be available wherever its users are — at home, on their phone, and now on the web.
Users can use Alexa.com to get quick answers, explore complex topics, create content, plan trip itineraries, and get help with homework, Amazon continued.
