Amazon reportedly developing 'Moonraker' Alexa project with advanced agentic AI capabilities

If you were underwhelmed by Amazon's next-gen voice assistant, Alexa+, there may be good news: Amazon is reportedly already working on taking things up a notch—or at least trying to.

According to documents seen by Business Insider, Amazon is in the process of developing an Alexa project codenamed 'Moonraker,' which aims to imbue Alexa with more agentic capabilities.

While Alexa+ can already handle some tasks (ordering food online, for example), Moonraker—which is the name of a James Bond film from 1979, by the way—is reportedly aiming to expand those capabilities.
