Amazon's Vision for Agentic Alexa

Amazon is developing an agentic version of Alexa that aims to improve its action-taking capabilities beyond simple question answering. CEO Andy Jassy highlighted the importance of generative AI in creating smarter assistants, noting the ongoing effort to re-architect Alexa's foundational models.
