Is Alexa+ too cheerful for you? Now you can select among 3 personality styles - here's how

"Amazon just announced it's adding personality styles to Alexa+, so users can tweak how expressive the smart assistant is. The three new Alexa+ personality styles include a Brief option that delivers direct, no-nonsense responses, a Chill style for a relaxed, breezy interaction, and a Sweet option that has a cheery, enthusiastic energy."

"In its announcement, Amazon indicated that the three styles differ in how Alexa answers the same question. Sweet responds with 'Absolutely fantastic! I'm radiating pure joy and ready to make your day incredibly amazing!' while Chill says 'Life's treating me well, all systems are Zen and the digital universe is spinning in harmony,' and Brief simply states 'Operating efficiently.'"

"Changing a device's personality style is surprisingly easy -- you can say 'Alexa, change your personality style' directly to your Echo device. This feature accommodates diverse user preferences, from those preferring straightforward communication to children who may enjoy more expressive interactions with their Echo devices."

The three new styles include Brief for direct, no-nonsense answers; Chill for relaxed, breezy interactions; and Sweet for cheery, enthusiastic responses. This feature allows users to customize how formal, expressive, witty, and direct Alexa+'s responses are. While Alexa+ represents a significant upgrade from classic Alexa with richer responses and content generation capabilities, many users found its default cheerful tone jarring. The new personality styles accommodate diverse preferences, from those preferring straightforward communication to children who may enjoy more expressive interactions. Users can easily change personality styles by voice command or through device settings.
