I asked Alexa Plus to tackle my to-do list — it mostly failed
The article discusses the Alexa Plus, Amazon's new voice assistant with an AI agent feature. The author tested this feature for about a week and found that while the voice assistant now understands more natural language, the agentic AI feature still needs improvement. The agentic AI allows users to give the assistant tasks, such as booking a restaurant reservation, similar to how one would instruct a human personal assistant. However, the author found that the AI agent struggled with verifying information like dates and struggled to complete the tasks successfully. The article suggests that while the Alexa Plus has made progress in natural language understanding, the agentic AI feature requires further development to reliably handle complex tasks on behalf of the user.
