Use case overview

In an Amazon demo, Alexa+ answers questions from an uploaded recipe or HOA document and summarizes forwarded school emails into the calendar.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    At Amazon's Devices & Services event, Mara Segal, director of Alexa, demonstrated sharing documents with Alexa+ so it could recall details from them. She asked how much oil was in grandma's zucchini bread recipe, which had been uploaded earlier. The article also says users can upload HOA guidelines and ask questions, or forward several school emails for Alexa+ to summarize and help manage the calendar.

  2. How it went

    In the demo, Alexa+ pulled the oil amount from the uploaded recipe. The article gives no testing results, accuracy figures or timing, and the HOA and email examples are described rather than shown.

  3. Worth knowing

    This is a stage demo, not a hands-on test, so the article gives no information on cost, availability, or how reliable it is on long or messy documents.

Example prompts

Try with Alexa+
I'm uploading [a recipe, HOA document, or school email]. Answer this question from it: [your question]. If it's a school email, summarize it and propose calendar entries for any dates, and show me them before adding anything to my calendar.
