Amazon's much-anticipated generative AI upgrade for Alexa is facing further delays, with the company’s AGI team still working on improvements. Despite announcing the redesign two years ago, the team aims to transform Alexa into a fully agentic product. Head of AGI, Rohit Prasad, emphasized the importance of delivering a hallucination-free experience with minimal latency. Alongside this, Amazon partnered with AI startup Anthropic to enhance Alexa's capabilities through a premium subscription model. The goal remains to provide users with a significantly smarter and more responsive voice assistant.
