I have used Alexa+ for months and absolutely love how it keeps my chaotic family of five organized, scheduled and entertained. But as an AI editor eager to test the limits of AI, I did something a little nerdy: I added Google Gemini to Alexa+.
Let me be clear, this is not some kind of illegal jailbreak or backend tech hack. Honestly, I wouldn’t change what Amazon has done with its updated assistant, not just because it’s impossible to do, but because I genuinely appreciate the assistant.
But by creating a custom Alexa skill that quietly hands certain questions off to Gemini instead, Alexa is even more informative, almost like a second personality. And it turns out, this is one of the easiest ways to get way more out of Alexa+ right now.
