Previously, Amazon made Alexa Plus available to Fire TV customers with a Prime or Alexa Plus subscription. But now, everyone will get access to Alexa Plus, which can provide movie recommendations based on your mood, help you jump to specific scenes, and answer questions about what you’re seeing on-screen. It can also connect to your smart home devices, allowing you to control lighting, door locks, pull up camera feeds, and more.
Amazon says it will automatically upgrade all Fire TV owners to Alexa Plus. The company adds that it “additional devices and regions may be added over time.”
