Amazon has made its AI assistant, Alexa+, available on the web at Alexa.com, letting users interact directly from their browsers. Until now, Alexa was mainly tied to Echo smart speakers, Echo Show screens, or the Alexa mobile app. With this move, anyone with an Amazon account can now type or speak to Alexa+ without needing a device, making the assistant more accessible than ever.
Alexa+ can perform a wide range of tasks. It can answer questions, help plan trips, manage calendars, organize to-do lists, and even summarize documents, emails, or images. For example, it can turn a recipe into a shopping list, summarize a work email, or help plan a family event. The aim is to make everyday tasks simpler and more convenient, whether at home, at work, or on the go.
A key feature of the web version is cross-device continuity. Tasks and conversations started in a browser carry over seamlessly to the Alexa mobile app or Echo devices. Smart home controls are also integrated, allowing users to adjust lights, thermostats, door locks, and cameras directly from their browser. This ensures that Alexa+ works as a truly connected assistant across multiple devices.
Amazon has also updated the Alexa mobile app, giving it a stronger focus on AI chat and generative assistance while keeping traditional Alexa functions intact. Together, the web platform, mobile app, and voice devices create a unified experience where users can rely on Alexa+ in whichever way is most convenient.
Currently, Alexa.com is available through Early Access in the U.S. and Canada. Wider public access is expected later this year. Amazon’s web launch positions Alexa+ alongside AI competitors such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini, giving users a powerful, versatile assistant across platforms and devices.
With this expansion, Alexa+ is no longer just a voice assistant for smart homes; it is becoming a comprehensive AI companion that can help with work, learning, planning, and daily life.
