With businesses like Expedia, Yelp, Angi, and Square joining Uber and OpenTable for reservations, services, and more, Alexa+'s agentic capabilities grow.
Since the launch of Alexa+, Amazon claims that user engagement has increased three to five times, with customers using the assistant to buy and cook.
