The Alexa+ web version will also feature a navigation sidebar that will be home to your most-used Alexa features.Amazon recently revamped its Alexa mobile app, while also integrating Alexa+ with Ring doorbells and BMW cars.However, introducing its AI assistant to web browsers could indicate that Amazon wants to encroach on a competitive market, which is currently dominated by OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google Gemini.To see how Amazon's Alexa+ on web compares to the rest, you need to set up the Alexa+ Early Access first.
After that, you can log into your Amazon account on Alexa.com to get started.
