Digital Assistants Market: Amazon Launches Alexa+ in India with Hindi Support
Amazon has launched its AI-powered Alexa+ assistant in India in early access, with support for Hindi and English. The assistant can handle complex multi-step tasks, such as ordering groceries via Amazon Now and controlling smart home devices, and allows mid-sentence language switching. Alexa+ is integrated with local services including Swiggy, Zomato's District, TripAdvisor, MakeMyTrip, and EazyDiner, as well as music platforms Amazon Music and JioSaavn. After the early access phase, Alexa+ will be free for Prime members, while non-Prime users will pay a subscription fee. This move targets India's large Hindi-speaking population and aims to strengthen Amazon's presence in the smart home and AI assistant market.
Expansion of Amazon's AI assistant into a major market strengthens its ecosystem, impacting advertisers seeking voice and AI-driven consumer engagement.
