Amazon has been working on making its voice assistant, Alexa, smarter and more versatile with generative AI for quite some time. However, the company has reportedly faced technical hurdles in getting the upgrade right, leading to multiple delays. Although Amazon is scheduled to unveil the AI-powered Alexa later this month, a new report indicates that it may not reach users immediately after the February 26 event.
According to internal messages seen by The Washington Post, the public release of the new Alexa has been pushed back by a month. An unnamed Amazon employee told the publication that it may not arrive until March 31 or later, as Alexa still seems to be struggling to give accurate answers to test questions.
