Summary
- Alexa's new AI can identify visitors and respond to them at the door.
- This feature requires specific Ring doorbells and a premium subscription.
- The AI uses visual cues and visitor information to manage interactions.
Amazon has introduced a new AI feature for Alexa, dubbed Alexa+ Greetings, that allows it to answer and converse with visitors at the door. This advanced capability requires specific newer Ring video doorbell models and a Ring Premium Plan, along with access to the Alexa+ early access build.
The AI works by analyzing visual cues like clothing and actions, combined with information provided by the visitor and pre-set instructions. This allows it to distinguish delivery personnel, ask them to leave packages at the back, or politely decline visits from salespeople.
The feature aims to provide a futuristic home security experience, capable of managing various interactions whether residents are home or away. All interactions can be reviewed later via the Ring app, offering a log of porch activity.
