Leak claims ‘Remarkable Alexa’ will play a bigger role in your life
Amazon has spent a good portion of 2024 working on an upgrade for Alexa. Rumors from last month said the tech giant sought to implement AI tech into their assistant allowing it to compete with the likes of ChatGPT.
Now, as part of a new report, Reuters recently spoke to “eight current and former employees who worked on Alexa», giving insight into what the future update could bring. These sources claim that the project, “known internally as Banyan», consists of two versions of Alexa.
The first voice assistant, and Amazon’s main focus, is called “Remarkable Alexa.» This is supposed to be the more intelligent of the two with generative AI features. According to Reuters, it would be capable of performing multiple tasks from a single prompt, such as writing a brief email and ordering delivery.
The insiders say Amazon also seeks to improve the smart assistant’s conversational skills. You won’t have to repeat the name “Alexa” repeatedly while giving instructions, for example.
Remarkable Alexa will apparently be able to automatically create Routines without direct input from a user since it’ll pay attention to your daily routine.
