 Hey Reader,

Amazon will make one of its biggest product releases ever next week – a new AI-powered Alexa.

Alexa was incredible when it was first released in 2014, but it's felt increasingly like the voice alerts on a 1989 Chrysler LeBaron when compared to ChatGPT. The Wednesday release could change all of that... and potentially for $5-10/month. Some have reported there could be a paid component to some of its AI-powered services.

However, there are also rumors the official launch could be delayed until March amidst poor performance and erroneous responses. See a sneak peek of what the next Amazon Alexa may look like.
