Amazon company is working on a new version of its Alexa voice assistant. This is the tool that lets you talk to machines and get answers or help with tasks.
The company is planning to make this new Amazon Alexa, called “Alexa Plus,” better by using advanced artificial intelligence, the same kind of technology that powers smart robots and computers.
However, there’s something different about this new Alexa. Instead of being free like the current version, Amazon is thinking about charging a monthly fee for it.
They need to do this because the technology behind it is expensive to run. It’s like how some other companies are charging for their AI services.

The idea is to make Alexa smarter and able to do more things. For instance, you could give it several instructions in one go, or set up daily routines just by speaking.
But there’s a catch. In the tests they’ve done so far, this new Alexa sometimes gives wrong answers, and they’re still trying to make it better.
There’s also some disagreement within Amazon about whether this is a good idea. They’re not sure if people will want to pay for Alexa Plus, especially if they’re already paying for other Amazon services.
This idea of a paid Alexa is pretty new, and Amazon showed a glimpse of what it could do last September. But they still have some work to do before it’s ready. They’re planning to launch Alexa Plus in the middle of this year, but it’s not going perfectly just yet.
This is true that Amazon is making a smarter device but with a paid version of Alexa. It’s supposed to do more, but it might still have some problems, and they’re not sure if people will want to pay for it. They’re still figuring things out and we’ll have to wait to see how it turns out.
