If you’re wondering what happened to Amazon ’s new and improved version of its Alexa voice assistant, you’re not alone.reports that the new Alexa is still stuck in its developmental phase and Amazon has cut off access to its beta phase including its new “Let’s Chat” phase. As a result, a planned late 2024 launch has been pushed back to next year.
Amazon originally planned to unveil its new version of Alexa AI in October but now the timeline has been extended into next year. The original timeline planned to premiere the next evolutionary step in Alexa’s advancement on October 17 but Amazon decided to pivot and used the date to show off its new line of Kindle ereaders.
Despite this, Alexa passed the good enough stage and Jassy and his fellow executives felt their engineers could build a beta version by the early part of 2024. Unfortunately, Amazon wasn’t able to meet its deadline. Even with the new deadline, the new Alexa still has a long way to go to fix its problems. Some employees toldthat the problem outside of Alexa’s innerworkings is with Amazon’s overstuffed management and a lack of “a compelling vision for an AI-powered Alexa.” .
