With its conversational approach, Alexa+ allows you to ask anything that comes to mind, making it easier to manage tasks such as completing your to-do list, retrieving specific details from your calendar, or booking a restaurant. Amazon's Alexa+ Early Access page hints at "new features being added regularly," suggesting that users can expect even more from this upgraded assistant as time progresses.

However, not all devices are compatible with Alexa+. Older generation Echo devices like the Echo Dot 1st Gen, Echo 1st Gen, Echo Plus 1st Gen, Amazon Tap, Echo Show 1st Gen, Echo Show 2nd Gen, and Echo Spot 1st Gen will continue to use the original Alexa. Amazon has plans to expand Alexa+ to additional devices, including Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Alexa.com, ensuring broader availability in the near future.
