New York (dpa -Afx) – A AI that reminds you to feed the dog and to complete the front door in the evening – this is how the Amazon introduces herself to the future of his voice assistant Alexa. It is not just about packing artificial intelligence in products, said Amazon’s head of device Panos Panay on the sidelines of the presentation of new networked speakers and cameras. “We want it to be useful.”
To achieve this, Amazon’s software has to collect and analyze knowledge about home. The security cameras of the Amazon brand Ring should take on a major role. For example, in the example with the feeding of the dog: the memory works because a ring camera is directed to the bowl and sees that it has not yet received any food.
Likewise, Ring’s outer cameras could also see in the vision of Amazon that the tons were not placed on the roadside on a day on which the garbage is picked up. In connection with other devices, the software can also recognize other deviations from usual behavior patterns – for example, that the door with the connected door lock is not yet locked in the evening.
No appointment for germany start
Amazon calls the new version of the voice assistance software, which can talk to users like a AI chat bot, Alexa+ and has gradually introduced it to the USA. An appointment for the start in Germany has not yet been mentioned. However, Amazon emphasizes that work is being done. It is unclear to Europe with what functional scope and scenarios Alexa+. Panay
In one of the new US functions, Amazon wants to use the ring cameras to find outdated pets in the neighborhood. This should work with dogs and in the next step also with cats. When pets are reported to Ring as runoff, neighbors get a hint from their cameras as soon as they appear in the field of vision. The neighbors can then contact the owners of the pets. Amazon calls the “Search Party” function (search team).
Focus on home
Alexa conquered a place in many households via Amazon’s echo loudspeakers in more than a decade. But new AI chatbots like Chatgpt from Openai made the voice assistant look old. The group reacted with Alexa+, for which large parts of the software were developed from scratch.
So far, the group has focused strongly on the home. However, Amazon has to compete with Alexa+ against competition such as Chatgpt and Gemini from Google (Alphabet C (Ex Google)). The Internet group in particular has a strong starting position. It has similar building blocks with speakers, cameras and a smart home platform in the household – and can also be a constant companion of the users with the telephones of the Android operating system.
Panay said that it was not clear what devices the users will use outside of their own four walls. “The game is not over yet. It hardly started,” he said. He signaled that Alexa+ should find their way into cars, among other things.
