Amazon plans to rework Alexa in the age of ChatGPT
As the AI trend sweeps the world, more and more companies find themselves working in this field every day. Recently, some leaked documents revealed Amazon’s plans to integrate advanced AI chatbot technology. The company aims to make Alexa more versatile, proactive, and engaging in conversation. In short, they plan to transform their already limited voice assistant into a much more comprehensive tool.
According to the leaks, Amazon plans to use its own large language model (LLM), called the Alexa Teacher Model, to enhance Alexa’s abilities. This is different from competitors like Microsoft’s Bing, which uses OpenAI’s model. The goal is to make Alexa seem more thoughtful, making media recommendations, news delivery, and storytelling more interactive.
The new Alexa will be able to create imaginative stories, similar to ChatGPT‘s storytelling abilities. It will also use the Echo Show’s camera to include real-life elements in its stories. Additionally, the upgraded Alexa will be better at handling complex queries, like finding specific TV shows based on vague descriptions, and providing additional details such as cast information and subscription pricing.
Amazon is also considering partnerships with companies like Disney and Lego. According to reports, these collaborations aim to make the most of Alexa’s new AI capabilities, but it is unclear how this will fully impact the end user.
