Amazon develops advanced agentic Alexa assistant project

Amazon is developing a more capable version of its Alexa assistant through an internal project called Moonraker. The effort aims to improve handling of complex, multi-step tasks.

Business Insider reviewed internal planning documents outlining the initiative. The project focuses on agentic abilities, such as completing multiple requests like booking a ride and texting a friend in one interaction.

Documents project GPU costs exceeding $100 million in 2026. A separate late 2025 document mentioned using hundreds of NVIDIA GPUs and testing with an Anthropic Sonnet model.

Alexa+ launched nationwide in the US early this year and remains in early access in the UK. Some users have reported issues with basic requests, while recent updates added personality styles and food delivery ordering.
