## Company & launch

*Who makes it and when it arrived. Company type and funding are context, not a quality score: an open-source project and a public company carry different risks, not better or worse ones.*

- **Company type** `documented` — Public company [1]
- **Company stage** `documented` — Public company · NASDAQ: AMZN [1]
- **Disclosed funding** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Launch date** `documented` — Feb 26, 2025 · Announcement · Announced at Amazon's Devices and Services event [2]

**Launch history**

- 2025-02-26 · Announcement · Announced at Amazon's Devices and Services event [2]
- 2026 · Public launch · General availability in the US and Canada, free for Prime [3]

## What it can do

*What this agent can actually operate — a machine of its own, yours, or neither. Computer control is three separate questions, and most products answer only some of them.*

- **What stands out** `documented` — Reaches Amazon's own services, including Ring footage and AI video search, Prime Video, Amazon Music and Photos, alongside shopping and smart home [3, 4]
- **Computer use** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Navigates the internet in a self-directed way to complete tasks behind the scenes; no control of the user's own device is described [2]
- **Controls your computer** `documented` — Nothing runs on the user's computer; Alexa+ acts from Amazon's side and on Echo hardware. [2]
- **Its own computer** `documented` — Runs in Amazon's cloud. No remote view of a machine of its own is offered. [3]
- **Works while your computer is off** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Runs on Amazon's cloud and Echo hardware rather than the user's computer, so tasks do not depend on a personal device being on. [3]
- **Browser control** `documented` — Navigates the web on the user's behalf from Amazon's side [2]
- **Voice & ambient listening** `documented` — Voice is the primary interface, across Echo devices, Echo Show, Fire TV and the Alexa app [1]
- **Background work & triggers** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Routines, reminders and calendar management, with agentic tasks completed behind the scenes; a user-facing scheduler for autonomous runs is not described [1, 2]

## Apps & access

*Where you reach it and on what. A messaging integration is not a native app, so the two are tracked apart; an app listed here is a real first-party client.*

- **Native desktop apps** `documented` — No native desktop app; the web experience is at Alexa.com [1]
- **iPhone & Android apps** `documented` — Alexa apps for iPhone and Android [1]
- **Web & messaging** `documented` — Echo devices, Echo Show, Echo Hub, Fire TV, the Alexa app and Alexa.com [1]
- **Messaging services** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Native hardware** `documented` — Runs on Echo speakers, Echo Show, Echo Hub and Fire TV, and is also reachable from the Alexa app and Alexa.com without buying hardware. [1, 3]
- **Developer API** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".

## Models & plans

*What you pay and what runs underneath. Where an agent is bundled into a larger subscription, the price shown is that subscription's — there is no separate fee for the agent.*

- **Models & providers** `documented` — Amazon Nova and Anthropic models run in Amazon's cloud [3]
- **Bring your own model** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Fully managed; personal model keys are not described [3]
- **Included in another plan** `documented` — Included with Prime at no extra cost; otherwise a standalone subscription [3]
- **Price & usage costs** `documented` — US$19.99 a month, free for Prime members across the whole household; non-Prime customers can also use a limited free text chat on Alexa.com and in the app [2, 3]

## Vendor lock-in

*How hard it is to leave, and what survives if the company does. Almost no hosted vendor publishes a shutdown commitment, so an answer here is usually read from the architecture rather than from a promise.*

- **If the vendor stops** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Provider-hosted and tied to Amazon's services and devices. The company has not published what happens if it is discontinued. [3]
- **Remote shut-off** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **What you keep** `documented` — Amazon's general request-your-personal-information flow returns account data by download link; no self-serve export of remembered items is described. [6]

## Ownership & control

*What it asks before acting, what it remembers, and who else can see it. These are the questions that decide whether you would hand it your inbox.*

- **Open source & license** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Where it runs** `documented` — Amazon's cloud, reached through Echo devices, the app and the web [1, 3]
- **Passwords & credentials** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Approval before actions** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **What it remembers** `documented` — Remember This stores details on request; remembered items are reviewable under Alexa Privacy, and Amazon notes they may be accessible to anyone using the household's devices [5]
- **Edit & export your data** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Amazon's general personal-information request covers account data; a dedicated export of remembered items is not described [6]
- **Privacy & isolation** `documented` — Voice recordings, transcripts and typed requests can be reviewed and deleted in Alexa Privacy settings [5]
- **Availability & access** `documented` — Generally available in the United States and Canada, with early access in Brazil, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria and France [3]
