Amazon is revamping its Alexa voice assistant as it prepares to launch a new paid subscription plan this year, according to internal documents and people familiar with the matter. But the change is causing internal conflict and may lead to further delay.

It should be a LOT better if they want to charge for it. I had an echo dot but gave it to a friend because it was really not worth the espionage.

I use HomePod Minis now. Same crappy performance but at least it doesn't spy on me quite as much.
