TL;DR
- A new report suggests Amazon might charge a monthly fee for an upgraded, generative AI-powered version of Alexa.
- Allegedly, this monthly charge could be $5 to $10, but there could be a less powerful version that stays free.
- Amazon considers the current Alexa unprofitable and is losing ground to Google’s and Apple’s offerings.
This year, we’ve seen digital assistants get serious AI facelifts. Google is by far the most prominent, with its Gemini platform already poised to take over for Google Assistant. Meanwhile, at WWDC24, Apple showed off what a generative AI-powered version of Siri will be able to do later this year.
