If announced, this would mark Alexa's most significant evolution since its debut in 2014. Although Amazon has long been a leader in the AI assistant space, the landscape is rapidly shifting. Companies like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic are rolling out increasingly sophisticated AI assistants capable of multitasking and completing complex requests.

Reports claim AI-powered Alexa is not up to scratch quite yet, and won't be available until after the upcoming Amazon launch event.

Alexa’s big AI revamp may have just been delayed, again – and it sounds like Amazon’s assistant is getting dumber rather than smarter.
