Your New 24/7 Personal Assistant

In partnership with

Dear Reader, 👋

Imagine sitting on your couch and saying, "Alexa, I have a leaky faucet," or "Book me a pet-friendly hotel in Chicago for this weekend." Within seconds, a professional is scheduled, or your room is reserved no apps to open, no websites to scroll, and no forms to fill out.

The era of AI that just "talks" is ending; the era of AI that "does" has officially arrived.

Flipped.ai's weekly newsletter reaches over 75,000 professionals, innovators, and decision-makers worldwide. This week, we're exploring how Amazon is turning Alexa into a powerhouse "AI Agent" that handles your real-world errands through massive new partnerships.

Let's dive in! 👇

Before we dive in, a quick thank you to our sponsor, Lindy.ai .

AI that works like a teammate, not a chatbot

It builds AI agents that handle sales, marketing, support, and more.

Describe what you need, and Lindy builds it:

“Qualify sales leads”
“Summarize customer calls”
“Draft weekly reports”

The result: agents that do the busywork while your team focuses on growth.

Alexa+ just became your new personal concierge

Amazon recently announced that its premium AI assistant, Alexa+, is expanding its capabilities in a major way. Starting in 2026, Alexa+ will integrate directly with four heavy hitters: Angi, Expedia, Square, and Yelp.

While we’ve used voice assistants for years to set timers or play music, this update shifts the focus toward Agentic AI systems designed to take action and complete complex tasks on your behalf.

1. Home repairs made easy (Angi)

Finding a trustworthy plumber or electrician can be a headache. Through the Angi integration, Alexa+ can now:

• Find vetted local professionals instantly.

• Provide pricing estimates and reviews.

• Schedule repairs using simple voice commands. It turns a "to-do list" item into a "done" item in seconds.

2. Travel planning without the tabs (Expedia)

Booking a trip usually involves dozens of browser tabs. Now, you can have a natural, back-and-forth conversation with Alexa to:

• Compare hotel prices and amenities.

• Get personalized recommendations based on your history.

• Manage and confirm reservations using Expedia’s massive database.

3. Seamless local bookings (Yelp & Square)

Whether you’re looking for the best pizza nearby or need to book a hair appointment, Alexa+ has you covered:

• Yelp: Instead of reading through hundreds of reviews, Alexa summarizes the vibe of a restaurant (e.g., "People say this place is family-friendly but slow").

• Square: Using Square’s secure payment tech, you can actually book and pay for services like salon appointments or local retail purchases entirely through voice.

Why this matters for you

The goal here isn't just to give you another "cool feature." It’s about reducing friction. Most of us are used to "App Fatigue" switching between five different apps just to plan a Saturday night. Amazon is betting that if they make it easier to talk to your house than to navigate an app store, you’ll never go back.

The "Agent" shift: This is a big move for the industry. Like ChatGPT's plugins, Amazon is trying to prove that AI is most useful when it can interact with the physical world helping you fix your home, spend your money, and manage your time.

The Bottom Line

Will we actually trust an AI to book our hotels or hire our handymen? Early data from partners like Thumbtack suggest that users are already embracing this "voice-first" lifestyle. As these tools become more natural and "human-like" in their conversation, the line between a digital assistant and a real-life personal assistant continues to blur.

What do you think? Are you ready to let Alexa handle your credit card and your calendar, or do you still prefer the "old school" way of clicking buttons?
