Amazon Launches Early Access for Alexa Plus, But It's Not Fully Ready Yet

  • Amazon has released an early version of its new voice assistant, Alexa Plus, but many promised features are still missing.

  • For now, it’s only available to a limited group of users on selected Echo Show devices (8, 10, 15, and 21).

  • Some key functions, like family recognition, daily reminders, and advanced AI conversations, are still under development.

Alexa Plus is a big step in Amazon's smart assistant journey. While the early version feels incomplete, it shows the company’s plan to make Alexa more helpful and interactive. As more features roll out, Alexa could become a much smarter and more personal tool for everyday life.

How to Create your AI-powered Telegram Assistant

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build your own AI assistant on Telegram. It will be able to answer questions, remember conversations, and later connect with other apps using n8n, an automation platform.

Step-by-step:

  1. Create a Telegram bot
    Open Telegram, search for BotFather, type /newbot, and follow the steps. Save the API token it gives you.

  2. Sign up for n8n
    Create a free account (they offer a 14-day trial). Start a new workflow and add a Telegram Trigger using your bot’s token.

  3. Add an AI Agent
    After the trigger, insert an AI Agent node. Connect it to your favorite AI model (like OpenAI) and use the incoming message text as the prompt.

  4. Send a reply
    Add a Telegram Send Message node. Use the chat ID from the trigger and send back the AI’s response.

  5. Enable memory
    In the AI Agent settings, turn on Window Buffer Memory so your bot can remember past messages in the conversation.

You can make your AI assistant even smarter by linking it to calendars, emails, note-taking apps, and more. We also ran a full workshop on how to build your own AI Agent with n8n, check it out if you want to go further!
