Amazon recently developed its AI model at AGI lab in San Francisco.

The Nova Act is designed to play a vital role in introducing Alexa+ features.

Alexa+ is a significant AI upgrade of Amazon’s broadly used voice assistant, Techcrunch reported.

It is pertinent to mention that Amazon considers its latest AI agent as a research preview since it is currently in the early stages of full-fledged, stable development.

Developers who want to build upon the Nova Act research preview can easily access the Nova Act SDK from nova.amazon.com, a website that holds an assortment of other Nova foundation models.

Nova Act is currently accessible to everyone in the U.S. In addition, the latest AI agent is available as a research preview.
