Amazon Adds Brief, Chill and Sweet Personality Styles to Alexa+

The presets let users tailor Alexa+ delivery to their preferences without changing its capabilities.

Overview

  • Alexa+ customers in the U.S. can switch styles now by saying “Alexa, change your personality style” or via the Alexa app under Device Settings.
  • Brief gives short, direct replies, Chill adopts a relaxed conversational tone, and Sweet responds with warmth and enthusiasm.
  • Each style is calibrated across five traits: expressiveness, emotional openness, formality, directness and humor.
  • Users can pair any style with eight available Alexa voices and can revert to the classic personality at any time.
  • Amazon says more styles are planned, as adjustable assistant tone becomes a common feature across AI platforms and raises questions about overly expressive bots.
