Amazon Introduces Its Own Rivals to ChatGPT for Web and Samsung’s Frame TV

From PC Mag: Amazon is kicking off the year with an Alexa+ chatbot, a redesigned Fire TV experience, and a brand new lifestyle TV.

With Alexa.com, you get a chatbot-like interface for the company’s revamped Alexa+ assistant. The website is designed to get you responses like you'd expect on ChatGPT or Gemini, while also letting you control your Alexa-enabled smart home devices. It is about bringing “the full power of Alexa+ right to your browser,” Amazon says.

At launch, Alexa.com will be available to all Alexa+ Early Access customers via web or through the Alexa mobile app. You need to have a Prime membership to get early access or pay $19.99 per month.

In its press release, Amazon discusses several ways you can use Alexa.com. You can ask it for a dinner recipe, save it to your recipe library, and then pull it up for a quick glance on your Echo Show display while cooking. You can also ask the chatbot to add the ingredients to your shopping list or to your Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods cart before you begin.
