Alexa Plus, Amazon's new AI-powered virtual assistant, is currently set to roll out in the United States over the next few weeks, with a gradual expansion planned afterward. However, there is no official announcement yet regarding its international availability. While Amazon has indicated that Alexa Plus will eventually be launched more widely beyond the U.S., specific details on international rollout dates have not been disclosed.
The initial rollout will focus on select Echo Show devices, including the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21, providing early access to users who purchase these devices. For those outside the U.S., it is expected that once international availability is confirmed, Alexa Plus will likely follow a similar pattern of gradual rollout across different regions.
Alexa Plus is designed to be more capable and conversational, leveraging generative AI to perform complex tasks such as ordering groceries, booking appointments, and navigating the internet. It will be available for free to Amazon Prime members, while non-Prime users will need to subscribe for $19.99 per month. Despite the lack of international availability details, Amazon's history of expanding services globally suggests that Alexa Plus will eventually reach international markets, though no timeline has been provided.
For users outside the U.S., the best option for now is to monitor Amazon's announcements for updates on when Alexa Plus will become available in their region. In the meantime, they can continue using the standard version of Alexa on compatible devices.
