Amazon brings Alexa+ to the web
🚨 Our Report
Amazon has launched an Alexa.com site for Alexa+ Early users, bringing its upgraded AI assistant to the web for the first time. The rollout, announced at CES, expands Alexa+ beyond Echo devices and the mobile app, positioning it more directly against chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini.
🔓 Key Points
Alexa+ on the web supports tasks like planning itineraries, generating content, and managing smart‑home controls while tying deeper into household routines such as calendars, recipes, grocery lists, and family reminders.
Amazon is pushing customers to upload personal documents, emails, and schedules so Alexa+ can function as a central hub for home organization, compensating for Amazon’s lack of a native productivity suite.
Despite online complaints about misfires, Amazon says opt‑out rates remain in the low single digits, and adoption metrics show 2–3x more conversations than with the original Alexa, including major increases in shopping and recipe usage.
🔐 Relevance
Alexa+ moving to the web signals Amazon’s attempt to compete head‑on in general‑purpose AI while leaning on its strength in smart‑home and household workflows. For businesses, this expands the footprint of an AI assistant already embedded in many devices, raising questions about privacy and whether Amazon can build enough trust for users to share personal files and calendars at scale. It also underscores the growing expectation that AI assistants must operate across every interface, not just hardware ecosystems.

Unknown number calling? It’s not random…
The BBC caught scam call center workers on hidden cameras as they laughed at the people they were tricking. One worker bragged about making $250k from victims.
The disturbing truth?
Scammers don’t pick phone numbers at random. They buy your data from brokers. Once your data is out there, it’s not just calls. It’s phishing, impersonation, and identity theft.
That’s why we recommend Incogni: They delete your info from the web, monitor and follow up automatically, and continue to erase data as new risks appear.
Case Study
How AI transformed fashion design at NY Fashion Week
LookingGlass Factory, a 3D visualization startup, used AI to create interactive digital closets for NY Fashion Week shows.
Traditional designs lacked audience engagement, as viewers couldn’t virtually try on or explore garments in real-time.
They deployed Looking Glass AI software to generate holographic 3D models from sketches, enabling immersive virtual fitting.
As a result, designers gained quick feedback loops and higher audience interaction, revolutionizing prototype testing.
AI News Story
Italy ends DeepSeek probe after AI commitments
Italy's antitrust authority has closed its investigation into DeepSeek after the Chinese AI system agreed to binding commitments that improve warnings about AI-generated false information, known as "hallucinations."
The regulator, AGCM, launched the probe last June after finding that DeepSeek failed to adequately disclose risks that its AI model may produce inaccurate, misleading, or fabricated outputs based on user inputs.
Under the settlement, Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence and Beijing DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence committed to making disclosures about hallucination risks easier, more transparent, and quickly visible to users.
AI News Story
Viral post about delivery exploitation was AI-generated
A Reddit confessional claiming to expose "desperation" exploitation and delays at a major food delivery company went viral with nearly 90,000 upvotes before multiple AI detectors flagged the 586-word post as likely machine-generated.
The anonymous poster provided what they claimed was an Uber Eats employee badge as proof, but Google's Gemini identified it as AI-generated or edited, citing misaligned text and warped coloration. Uber confirmed that Uber Eats-branded employee badges do not exist.
Despite the fabrication, the post gained traction because delivery platforms have a documented history of worker exploitation. The incident shows how AI-generated content can weaponize real industry problems to spread misinformation at scale.
