Despite laying off just under 2,000 employees across Alexa and the devices unit late last year, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has big plans to reboot the voice assistant with ChatGPT-like features, a leaked document seen by Insider said.
One internal memo described a goal of making Alexa smarter, saying users should feel “like Alexa is thinking vs. fetching from a database.”
A specific area of focus is new entertainment features for Alexa, including more conversational video search, personal recommendations, and storytelling and news reading capabilities, according to the document, titled “Alexa LLM Entertainment Use Cases.”
