Amazon introduces premium AI-powered Alexa gadgets

ndtv.com

Amazon is launching a premium tier of AI-powered Alexa gadgets, aiming to revitalize its product line. This new range will sit alongside existing lower- and mid-priced options, offering consumers more choices. Devices will feature improved sound, battery life, and security. The new Alexa+ operating system will enhance performance and privacy through upgraded processing capabilities. Amazon plans to be more selective in its product offerings, moving away from its previous strategy of flooding the market. Panos Panay, who joined Amazon from Microsoft, will oversee these developments. While new products are expected in the fall, it may take time to fully implement his vision.
