亚马逊正在推出Alexa Plus助手的更新,这将使其能够以新的方式连接智能家居设备。通过这次更新:https://developer.amazon.com/alexaplus/blogs/2026/07/alexa-plus-new-ways-to-build-experiences(目前处于预览阶段),Alexa Plus可以与博世、德尔塔、Ecovacs、iRobot、耶鲁家居、惠而浦、Tapo、Eufy等厂商的技术进行连接,同时自动将请求路由到正确的设备。
在亚马逊分享的一个示例中,拥有支持的洗衣机的人可以说:“Alexa,我孩子的足球队球衣需要深度清洗,但标签上写着只能冷水洗。”随后,Alexa Plus会浏览洗衣机的洗涤循环选项并选择正确的设置。新的整合功能由亚马逊新的AI开发工具包提供支持,据称这将使设备制造商更容易连接到Alexa Plus,“包括那些以前不被支持的独特功能”。
亚马逊于二月份广泛发布了其重新设计的AI助手:/news/873702/amazon-alexa-plus-ai-assistant-now-available,该助手可以处理多步骤请求,并帮助你使用语音创建例程。它目前仅能在有限数量的第三方服务中执行任务,如Ticketmaster、OpenTable、Uber、Thumbtack、Expedia、Yelp、Square和Angi:https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/alexa-plus-voice-booking-integrations。
但亚马逊正尝试通过采用模型上下文协议(MCP)来改变这一状况,这是一种开源标准,允许AI模型连接到外部系统和工具。这将使更多品牌有能力与Alexa Plus互动,Canva、Headspace、Priceline、Lyft、Cengage、维珍航空、Weekend等公司将在今年晚些时候上线整合功能。
例如,Priceline将让客户能够直接通过Alexa Plus浏览酒店选项并预订行程。Priceline,以及Atom Tickets、Cengage、Fandango和Taskrabbit也很快将支持通过Amazon Wallet进行支付。
Amazon is launching an update to its Alexa Plus assistant that will allow it to connect to smart home devices in new ways. With the update:https://developer.amazon.com/alexaplus/blogs/2026/07/alexa-plus-new-ways-to-build-experiences, which is currently in preview, Alexa Plus can link up with tech from Bosch, Delta, Ecovacs, iRobot, Yale Home, Whirlpool, Tapo, Eufy, and others, while automatically routing requests to the correct device.
In an example shared by Amazon, a person with a supported washing machine can say, “Alexa, my kid’s soccer jersey could use a deep clean, but the tag says cold wash only.” From there, Alexa Plus would navigate the washer’s cycle options and choose the correct setting. The new integrations are powered by Amazon’s new AI developer toolkit, which is supposed to make it easier for device makers to connect to Alexa Plus, “including those with unique capabilities that weren’t supported before.”
Amazon widely launched its revamped AI assistant in February:/news/873702/amazon-alexa-plus-ai-assistant-now-available, which can handle multi-step requests and help you create routines using your voice. It currently only performs tasks in a limited number of third-party services, such as Ticketmaster, OpenTable, Uber, Thumbtack, Expedia, Yelp, Square, and Angi:https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/alexa-plus-voice-booking-integrations.
But Amazon is trying to change this by adopting the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source standard that allows AI models to connect to external systems and tools. This will give more brands the ability to interact with Alexa Plus, with Canva, Headspace, Priceline, Lyft, Cengage, Virgin Atlantic, Weekend, and other companies launching integrations later this year.
For example, Priceline will give customers the ability to browse hotel options and book a trip directly through Alexa Plus. Priceline, along with Atom Tickets, Cengage, Fandango, and Taskrabbit, will soon support payments through Amazon Wallet as well.
