Amazon Alexa can now alert you when something new might tempt you to shop
Tuesday, September 1, 2026
Amazon added a feature called "Update Me When" to its Alexa voice assistant that sends personalized alerts about product launches, tours, books, shows, and other events. Users can request notifications for specific items or categories through the Alexa app or by voice command. The feature integrates with Amazon's shopping services and third-party retailers to deliver real-time updates when requested items become available or new related products launch.
