Amazon does not give up to make Alexa a virtual shopping assistant on Wednesday. The company announced this Alexa+, his revised Alexa experiencewill be able to help consumers to help more natural conversations and inquiries from home from home.
The function works with Amazon Fresh or another food partner who works with Amazon, says the retailer. The delivery of partners such as Uber Eats is also available.
Instead of simply listing ingredients you need from Voice, Amazon has shown how you can chat with Alexa while helping you build your shopping list.
For example, the company Alexa asked “everything we need for banana bread” except the spices and said they also wanted to cook this “Bobs Red Mill Pancake mix”. Oh, and they also needed syrup and a few more eggs.
Alexa understood these natural language inquiries and transformed them into elements for grocery lists.
In addition, Alexa was able to adapt the quantities to be asked when he was asked, for example to make two and a half gallons instead of a gallon milk.
The assistant was also able to give recommendations, which should cook for a five-year dinner by suggesting some pasta options that liked the children.
The company described this type of purchases as with its voice to buy in a kind of “stream of consciousness” style chat.
The improved Alexa+ experience will be sent to existing Alexa devices as an upgrade in March. The service costs $ 19.99 per month, but is free of charge for all Prime members.
