In Italy Alexa+ arrives on the web for all early access customers. Thanks to the new Alexa.com, Alexa+ becomes a personal assistant accessible everywhere: at home, on your smartphone and now also on the web. The new experience combines information and action, offering seamless integration between devices for shopping, smart home control and more.
You can use Alexa.com to get quick answers, tackle complex topics, create content, and get homework help. However, Alexa+ doesn’t just provide information, because it is designed to take action: it can help you complete numerous daily tasks, such as updating the family calendar, controlling the smart home, making restaurant reservations and much more. Furthermore, it remembers the context and ensures continuity in the user experience, allowing you to interact with Alexa from the device or interface best suited to each situation, without losing previous conversations, preferences and user customizations.
Alexa.com offers concrete help in organizing your daily life, allowing you to upload documents, emails and images to manage information in a simpler and more orderly way. Alexa+ can extract key data from documents, add appointments and information to your calendar, and remember specific details on demand. Whether it’s retrieving the date of your dog’s last vaccination, keeping track of the kids’ swimming class times, or monitoring upcoming appointments with friends and family, Alexa+ helps you stay on top of important information. You can then consult the day’s schedule directly on an Echo Show device, or view and edit the calendar at any time and wherever you are.
Additionally, smart home control becomes smoother: on Alexa.com, commands are accessible in the same window, next to the chat with Alexa. You can quickly switch between chatting and controlling your connected devices, checking who’s at the door, turning on the lights, adjusting the thermostat, or checking your security cameras when you’re away from home. All this directly from your browser, without having to use your phone or issue voice commands.
With Alexa.com, managing commitments and schedules also becomes easier. You can plan your week, get help with restaurant reservations, create shopping lists and check off purchased products directly from your phone while shopping, as well as set reminders for the most important appointments, which can also be consulted on the Echo Show devices in your home. From organizing holidays to weekly shopping, to managing social commitments, Alexa+ keeps all information connected and updated, allowing you to start an activity on the web and then resume it seamlessly from any other device and from the app.
You can use Alexa.com to interact with Alexa+ from any web browser by typing your requests or trying one of the suggestions Alexa offers below the chat window. You can also select Recent Chats to find and resume your conversations, even those started on Echo devices or in the Alexa app.
Alexa.com is available today to those already in Alexa+ Early Access. During the Early Access period, Alexa+ is free for everyone. After that, it will be available for €22.99 per month, but will continue to be available at no additional cost to all Amazon Prime customers.
Those who already own a compatible Echo device can register on amazon.it/nuovalexa to express their interest in early access to Alexa+. You can also purchase any Echo device for immediate access.
