What it is
Alexa+ is the 2025 generative-AI re-platforming of Alexa. The ASR layer is unchanged in topology but tuned for free-form natural speech; the back end routes to Amazon's Nova family of LLMs for reasoning and tool use.
Best for: Existing Echo owners who want longer multi-turn dialogue, agentic tasks, and natural-language search.
Watch out for: US-only at launch; English-only; still cloud-dependent for the LLM layer.
