Smart home features include voice-controlled routine creation, intuitive device management, and seamless integration with appliances and apps like Ring and Uber.
Alexa+ offers advanced functionality such as analyzing PDFs, reading handwritten notes, and customizing entertainment experiences.
Available in late March via early access, Alexa+ is included with Amazon Prime or costs $19.99 monthly for non-members.
