Amazon’s Panos Panay on the long road to Alexa’s AI overhaul

The other day, I'm leaving the house. I have Alexa Plus, obviously. And I go, Alexa, do me a favor. Find all the photos of Mary, start a slideshow, and put music behind it. Okay. I just did a search command. I did a photos expert command. They have to talk to each other. He's looking for Mary. Slideshow. Got it. And then that expert has to call the music expert and basically say, play the music.

All right. It does a phenomenal job. It does it in under two seconds and I get a slideshow. It's pretty cool. Music's playing. I'm about to leave the house. It automatically chose music in some playlist. And then I just said, you know, change the music to intern without, you know, re-invoking Alexa, which you saw yesterday if you were watching. It's very small.

I just said, put something on that Mary would like. And then it switched it and I'm perfect. And I just walked out the door. Okay, that's an emotional moment. It's one of my favorite parts of the product. Like if you said, P, what's one of the things? I'm like, that's it. You're like, you're pulling emotion out of your, out of the things that matter most to you.

Mary wakes up, she comes in the kitchen, there's a slideshow playing and it's got music. She texts me, do you know Alexa's like on right now? I don't know what's happening. And I'm like, well, do you like it? You know, she's like, it's fun. I'm not turning it off. I'm like, well, I left, it was a message I left for you.

Now the next step of that is to, you know, Alexa, leave a message for Mary when you see her. And she will. But these are all like they're multi-turned conversations, but they're also and statements. So when you have these basically these conjunctions coming together, you have the continuation of a statement because I just want to talk in natural language.

To invoke all of that in one place is I don't I think it's beyond it's an incredible like it's what Alexa can do. I don't see that anywhere else. It's quite powerful.
