Introduction

The world of AI and machine learning (ML) is experiencing a period of rapid evolution. From Meta to Google, leading tech companies are investing enormous resources to improve natural language processing (NLP) and develop increasingly sophisticated intelligent models. In this context, Amazon announced a new integration that opens up new possibilities for Alexa+.

Alexa+ and its integrations

Alexa+, the new voice assistant at home, is now able to work with Angi, Expedia, Square, and Yelp. These three companies are known for offering services such as hotel bookings, travel management, and online payments. The integration of these platforms opens up new possibilities for users who want to use Alexa+ to plan their trips or ask questions about their preferred services.

How the AI behind Alexa+ works

But how does the underlying technology that allows Alexa+ to understand and respond to user requests work? The Large Language Model (LLM) developed by Meta was used as the basis for developing Alexa+. This model was trained on a very large dataset to learn to recognize patterns and relationships between words, phrases, and broader contexts.

The functioning of Alexa+ is based on the use of natural language processing (NLP) to understand user requests and provide coherent responses. The NLP technology used by Alexa+ allows the assistant to analyze the context of the question and provide more accurate answers.
