Amazon has revealed a brand new Alexa voice assistant powered by its new Alexa large language model (LLM), promising better interaction and smart home experience. Alexa’s new model will enable it to be more conversational and produce more human-like responses. Also, the new Alexa can now respond to multiple requests at once, allowing users to create new Routines entirely by voice without any manual programming. Alexa’s cognitive functions are also expanded: the new Alexa’s Action Controller function is capable of controlling certain third-party products that aren’t in Amazon’s smart home ecosystem toolkit. The LLM-powered Alexa will launch first in preview in the US and be available to anyone with an Echo device. Amazon hasn’t announced a date for the preview, but has claimed that the new Alexa may not always be free.
Amazon Alexa is designed by Amazon Mobile LLC to manage your device with Alexa, communicate through Amazon Echo, and manage your music, alarms, shopping lists, and more on the go.
Amazon Alexa app is now available both for Android and iOS users. For Alexa device owners, this app allows you to set up and control your Alexa device remotely. It plays music, show weather conditions, answer questions, create lists, and more.
It is a companion to your Amazon Echo, Dot (setup, remote control, and enhanced features.)
Enjoy hands-free music streaming experience with the app
Read news feeds on the latest events about sports, entertainment, and more areas.
It can be used as a virtual assistant which can pick up the user's voice from 7 feet away.
It will inform users of the weather, set alarms and answer questions.
Make video calls to family and friends who have an Echo Show or the Alexa App.
Alexa is stored in the cloud, and it will continually learn and update more functionality with time passing by. The more you use Alexa, the more it adapts to your frequently used vocabulary and personal preferences.
Before you use the voice commands, you need to let the digital assistant identify you. Once she recognizes your voice, you can control her by commanding as follows:
Clicking “More” and then “Skills & Games”
Press “Enable to use” in the individual view to make it know you
Start with her name “Alexa” Commanding as “Alexa, play music for yoga.” “Alexa, volume up.”
