Amazon Rolls Out Alexa+ Web Portal to Select Users

Access is limited to Alexa+ Early Access users, with Prime inclusion planned at wider release.

Overview

  • Alexa.com now presents a chat-style interface for some Alexa+ Early Access users, resembling other web-based AI assistants.
  • The site adds file uploads for document analysis plus a left-side toolbar for chat history, basic smart-home controls, calendar, lists, reminders, and stored files.
  • Conversations appear to sync between the web portal and Echo devices, allowing users to pick up threads across platforms.
  • A Copy button underneath responses makes it easier to reuse Alexa+ output compared with prior voice-only workflows.
  • Amazon has said Alexa+ will be included with Prime at broad launch with a $19.99 per month option for non-Prime members, and the assistant draws on Anthropic’s Claude for core AI capabilities.
