Alexa+ Rolls Out AI-Generated Podcasts With Dual Robot Hosts
Amazon's Alexa+ now generates AI-powered podcasts featuring two robotic hosts, built from user-chosen topics and real-time reporting from major outlets (AP, Reuters, Washington Post, Time, Forbes, Politico, USA Today and 200+ local papers). The service outlines the episode, lets users adjust length and focus, and notifies you on Echo Show or the Alexa app when it’s ready. Alexa+ is free for Prime members in the U.S.; non-Prime customers pay $19.99/month. This marks a major push into AI-created audio content, following earlier experiments like Google’s NotebookLM.
