Smartspeaker Plus: Voice Tips

Get more from Alex+ with useful prompts, routines and everyday inspiration. Discover new things to ask your smart speaker, explore ideas for family life, daily organisation and entertainment, and save your favourites for later. Smartspeaker Plus is an independent companion guide for discovering Alex+ ideas. It is not affiliated with Amazon and does not directly control your smart speaker. The Alex + is the next-generation AI-powered version of its voice assistant Alex. It was introduced in early 2025 as a major upgrade, powered by generative AI. Key Differences from the original Alex + are; Smarter & More Conversational: Handles complex, multi-step requests and natural back-and-forth conversations (e.g., ongoing discussions over days with context memory), rather than rigid, one-at-a-time commands. More Personalized: Learns your preferences, offers tailored recommendations (music, recipes, shopping), and proactively suggests routines or actions. More Capable (Agent-like): Can complete tasks on your behalf, such as planning events, drafting messages/emails, creating checklists, generating images, researching topics, managing calendars, shopping assistance (deal tracking, purchases), and deeper smart home control.
