Creating meal plans, writing a birthday greeting, or remembering trash collection day: Alexa+ is designed to help with such tasks. Amazon’s AI assistant is now accessible via the browser. Tasks can be formulated in chat and then easily adjusted with further messages.
The web version of Alexa+ launched in January 2026 in the U.S. and Canada. The UK followed in July. Now, users in Germany can access the service in early access via Alexa.com. Previously, Alexa+ was already available on compatible speakers, smart displays, streaming devices, and via the smartphone app.
Alexa+ Processes Files and Manages Appointments
After logging in with an Amazon account, users can upload files on the website, such as email attachments. Alexa+ searches these for important information and stores the details. Individual pieces of information can then be queried specifically.
If an uploaded invitation includes a date and time, Alexa+ can transfer these details to the calendar upon request. The appointments are then available on connected devices like the Echo Show. Conversations also don’t have to stay on one device. Under “Recent Chats,” users can continue conversations on a computer that were started on an Echo speaker or in the Alexa app.

Smart Home Can Be Controlled via Browser
Alexa+ also brings smart home control to the computer. Users can turn off the light in the hallway or adjust the heating via the browser. A connected door camera can also be used to check who is at the door. The appropriate devices must be available for each function.
This connects the web version’s AI chat with functions Alexa already offers on other devices. A conversation can start on an Echo device or in the app and continue later on a computer.

How Much Alexa+ Will Cost Later
Currently, Alexa+ can be tested for free without a Prime subscription. Owners of a compatible Echo device can request an invitation for early access. Early access may already be included when purchasing new Echo devices, Alexa tablets, or Fire TV models. Whether this is the case is stated in the respective product description.
This test phase will not remain free indefinitely. When it will end is not yet determined. Amazon plans to inform users at least 30 days in advance. Subsequently, Alexa+ will be part of Prime. Without a Prime subscription, the service will cost 22.99 euros per month.
For Alexa tablets, a free version is also planned. However, it will offer fewer features.
