Alexa+ orders groceries, tracks past purchases and remembers recipes and dietary preferences.

- What they did
- This is a news report on Amazon's announcement, not a hands-on test. Alexa+, Amazon's generative-AI assistant, can place grocery orders from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market. It also tracks past purchases. Users can ask it to remember things such as recipes and dietary preferences. It runs on a new mobile app, Alexa.com and Echo devices.
- How it went
- The article reports no usage results. Amazon said rollout would begin across the U.S. in early access, then continue in waves over several months from Feb. 26.
- Worth knowing
- Alexa+ is free for Prime members and $19.99 per month for nonmembers, and early access meant it might not be available to everyone yet.
