Amazon’s Big Alexa Upgrade: Smarter, Faster, and Finally Useful?
Amazon is giving Alexa a major AI upgrade, switching to Anthropic’s Claude instead of its own tech after struggling with speed. The goal? A voice assistant that actually understands context and handles complex requests. With over 100 million active users and half a billion devices out there, Amazon needs to get this right—especially with Apple gearing up to test its own AI-powered Siri soon. Competition is heating up.
