Amazon makes Alexa+ AI assistant available to everyone in the U.S. nearly a year after launch

Amazon is finally unleashing its paid AI assistant to the masses, nearly a year after quietly launching Alexa+ to select customers—a belated move that suggests the company is scrambling to monetize its voice technology before rivals like OpenAI and Google lock in the market for conversational AI. The subscription service, which costs extra on top of existing Alexa subscriptions, represents Amazon's clearest admission yet that free voice assistants have become a money-losing proposition in the age of generative AI. With OpenAI and Google racing to embed powerful AI into everyday devices, Amazon's delayed rollout signals it may have fallen behind in the race to turn household technology into a lasting revenue stream.
