Amazon's new AI-powered assistant, Alexa+, has rapidly crossed the 1 million-user milestone in the U.S., becoming one of the most searched tech topics today. This major leap highlights how generative AI is transforming smart voice experiences—and why every tech blogger should be watching closely.
According to *The Verge*, over 1 million users are now testing Alexa+ in early access. Originally launched to “hundreds of thousands,” the expansion reflects Amazon’s confidence after ironing out early bugs under Panos Panay’s leadership 1.
About 10% of promised features—like Fire TV integration and visual ordering—are still pending. Some users report smart-home issues with devices like air fryers not responding yet 3.
Alexa+ shows how U.S. consumers are embracing on-device AI assistants. Its rapid adoption sets the stage for a bigger competition between Amazon, Google Gemini Voice, and Apple’s Siri AI.
