Read full description

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.
