With its conversational approach, Alexa+ is designed to assist with a wide range of tasks. Whether you're looking to manage your to-do list, retrieve specific calendar details, or make restaurant reservations, Alexa+ is ready to help. The Alexa+ Early Access page also mentions that "new features are being added regularly," suggesting that more enhancements and functionalities will be revealed as the early access period progresses.

However, it's important to note that not all devices are compatible with Alexa+. Older generation Echo devices, such as the Echo Dot 1st Gen, Echo 1st Gen, Echo Plus 1st Gen, Amazon Tap, Echo Show 1st Gen, Echo Show 2nd Gen, and Echo Spot 1st Gen, will continue to operate with the original Alexa. Amazon has announced plans to expand Alexa+ compatibility to additional devices, including Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Alexa.com, in the near future.
