Alexa is set to receive a much-needed next-generation upgrade. Amazon is ready to introduce a much smarter, AI-powered next-gen Alexa at a special event on February 26. This would mark the most significant upgrade to the voice assistant in a decade. The new Alexa will reportedly use generative AI to offer more natural conversations and handle multiple requests at once - a feature not available in the current version of Alexa, which handles one question at a time. The upgraded AI Alexa will be able to handle multiple requests simultaneously in one go. It is also designed to act on your behalf and without requiring step-by-step instructions.
