<p>Amazon&#8217;s Alexa unit has historically been unprofitable, losing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-alexa-job-layoffs-rise-and-fall-2022-11" rel="noopener">billions</a> of dollars since its introduction in 2014 — but AI could help turn things around.</p>
<p>According to a Friday <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/amazon-mulls-5-10-monthly-price-tag-unprofitable-alexa-service-ai-revamp-2024-06-21/" rel="noopener">Reuters</a> report citing eight sources &#8220;with direct knowledge&#8221; of Amazon&#8217;s plans, including current and former Amazon employees who worked on the voice assistant, Amazon is considering putting a higher AI-powered Alexa behind a subscription paywall.</p>
<p>Amazon is currently working on upgrading the free version of Alexa to one with AI capabilities, per Reuters, and plans to add a higher, subscription level of the voice assistant that can process more complex AI prompts.</p>
<p>The two levels of Alexa are internally known as the &#8220;Remarkable Alexa&#8221; and the &#8220;Classic Alexa.&#8221; Sources told Reuters that Amazon has thought about a $5 to $10 per month subscription for &#8220;Remarkable Alexa&#8221; to differentiate the two.</p>
<p>&#8220;Classic Alexa&#8221; will remain free, according to the report.</p>
<p>If implemented, the subscription would be the first major reframing of the voice assistant since Amazon introduced it.</p>

Credit: Al Drago/Bloomberg via Getty Images</sup></i></p>
<p>Amazon&#8217;s Echo smart home devices with Alexa have been surprise <a target="_blank" href="https://www.geekwire.com/2016/amazon-echo-sales-reach-5m-two-years-research-firm-says-google-competitor-enters-market/" rel="noopener">hits</a> since they launched, but a 2022 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-alexa-job-layoffs-rise-and-fall-2022-11" rel="noopener">BI report</a> showed that even though they&#8217;re bestsellers, most of them sold at cost.</p>
<p><b>Related: </b><a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/amazon-swaps-plastic-pillows-for-paper-shipping-materials/475954" rel="noopener"><b>Amazon Swaps Plastic Pillows For Paper Shipping Materials</b></a></p>
<p>Amazon already previewed a generative AI version of Alexa in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/amazon-alexa-generative-ai" rel="noopener">September</a> and showed off how the voice assistant could talk with more personality and take in more context.</p>
<p><iframe title="Customers preview new Alexa capabilities | Amazon News" width="860" height="484" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dAPuMivixzg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Amazon stated then that it had sold more than half a billion devices with Alexa and that AI features &#8220;will be available to Alexa customers in the U.S. soon.&#8221;</p>

<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/amazon" rel="follow noopener">Amazon</a> built its business on customer service, believing everything would fall into place if the company made shopping easy and convenient. Case in point: Their return policy allows customers to return millions of items they don&#8217;t want free of charge.</p>
<p>But that return policy is also wildly expensive. In 2021, a record $761 billion of merchandise was returned to retailers, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/25/retailers-average-return-rate-jumps-to-16point6percent-as-online-sales-grow-.html" rel="nofollow noopener">the National Retail Federation</a>.</p>
<p>Now Amazon wants its customers to think twice before sending products back. The e-commerce giant has quietly implemented <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/amazon-starts-charging-for-some-ups-store-returns" rel="nofollow noopener">a new policy</a>, charging customers a $1 fee if they return items to a UPS store instead of a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/whole-foods" rel="follow noopener">Whole Foods</a>, Amazon Fresh, or Kohl&#8217;s closer to their address, according to a report in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/amazon-starts-charging-for-some-ups-store-returns" rel="nofollow noopener">The Information</a>.</p>
<p>Amazon owns <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/whole-foods" rel="follow noopener">Whole Foods</a> and Amazon Fresh, and Kohl&#8217;s partners with the company.</p>
<p>Amazon is also warning consumers about &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/amazon-starts-warning-customers-about-frequently-returned-items?utm_medium=organic_social&amp;utm_campaign=article_post&amp;utm_term=amazon&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_content=push_copy" rel="noopener">frequently returned</a>&#8221; items sold on their site. They recently introduced a badge that tells shoppers to check the product details and customer reviews on items with higher return rates in their product category.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="" class="lazyload" loading="lazy" role="presentation" src="https://assets.entrepreneur.com/images/misc/1681353893_badge.jpeg" style="height:731px; width:612px" width="612" height="731"/></p>
<p><b>Related: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/san-francisco-whole-foods-closes-after-1-year-due-to-crime/449486" rel="follow noopener">San Francisco Whole Foods Closes To &#8216;Ensure Safety&#8217; of Employees</a></b></p>
<h2>Amazon cutting costs</h2>
<p>The new return fee is the latest in a series of cost-cutting measures implemented by Amazon. Last month, the company announced it would be laying off 9,000 workers, following an earlier round of layoffs last year that saw <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/amazon-layoffs-will-cut-18000-jobs-largest-in-company/442311" rel="follow noopener">pink slips handed out to more than 18,000 employees</a>.</p>
<p>While Amazon&#8217;s return fees are surprising, they&#8217;re not unprecedented. Other retail chains have recently done away with their free online return policy, including Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (which charges $7), American Eagle, Foot Locker, Urban Outfitters, and Zara.</p>
<p>If there is any good news to come out of these new return policies, it&#8217;s that they have a positive impact on the environment. Returns cause 16 million metric tons of carbon emissions and up to 5.8 billion pounds of landfill waste in the U.S. each year, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://info.optoro.com/hubfs/The%20Optoro%202020%20Impact%20Report.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener">Optoro</a>.</p>
<p>Less returns mean less waste — even if it may cost you a buck.</p>
