Intelligence Summary

Amazon is updating Alexa Plus with an AI preview feature that can interpret more complicated requests. The assistant can connect to smart home devices and automatically route commands to the correct manufacturer and device. Amazon says integrations will include brands such as Bosch, Delta, Ecovacs, iRobot, Yale Home, Whirlpool, Tapo, and Eufy. In an example, a user can request a deep clean for a washing-machine load while the assistant selects the correct cycle based on the care tag. This matters because broader device control increases the need for users to review permissions and ensure compatible devices are configured safely.
