One of the best features of Amazon’s new Alexa Plus is that I don’t have to “speak Alexa” anymore. Alexa Plus relies on partnerships with specific services; it can’t just roam the web and do my bidding. Alexa Plus is still in an Early Access beta phase, and Amazon says more integrations are coming soon. (I’d linked my Ticketmaster account in the Alexa app when I first set up Alexa Plus.) I told Alexa to switch the reservation to Friday, August 1st, and it did, also updating my calendar.
