"The Alexa.com website appears to be live for some users. The browser-based home for Alexa Plus, the company's revamped digital voice assistant, was first announced at the Alexa Plus launch event in February. But until recently, Alexa.com redirected to an information page. Now, some users, myself included, are seeing a new Alexa Plus web interface. This morning, when I typed Alexa.com into my web browser, it took me to a page that resembled the Alexa Plus chatbot in the Alexa app. (I was already logged into my Amazon.com account.)"
"I went through a few setup steps, then arrived at a large blue/white screen with a big "Hello Jen, how can I help?" prompt above a text box. The box has the option to upload a file, and there are links to drop-down menus below: Plan, Learn, Create, Shop, and Find. The menus include prebuilt prompts that take you into the chatbot interface, such as "Plan for my next getaway," "Create a study guide for my exam," "Shop trending products," and "Book a table for a restaurant." At the bottom of the chatbot, in small type, is the warning: "Alexa may not always get it right.""
Alexa.com now hosts Alexa Plus, Amazon's browser-based voice assistant, providing a chatbot-style interface accessible when logged into an Amazon account. The site includes a text input with file upload, drop-down menus labeled Plan, Learn, Create, Shop, and Find, and prebuilt prompts for tasks like trip planning, study guides, shopping, and restaurant bookings. A left-hand toolbar offers shortcuts to recent chats (including Echo-device history), smart-home controls, calendar, lists, reminders, tasks, and a files section. The chatbot displays a small disclaimer noting that Alexa may not always get responses correct. The site appears live after previously redirecting to an information page.
