5 cool things from CES for Amazon Developers (plus 4 more cool things)

The author attended the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and visited Amazon's showcase, where they demonstrated new features for Fire TV and Alexa. One of the highlights was AI-enhanced voice search on Fire TV, which allows users to find shows or movies without knowing the title. This feature is already live and can be tried on Fire TV devices. The author notes that this is great news for developers, as customers can now find their content more easily. Amazon also showcased cars with Alexa and Fire TV integrated, and developers are encouraged to target Automotive devices to reach this new audience. The new Echo Show 15 and 21 were also on display, which are like mini-Fire TVs and can run Fire TV apps and channels. The author was impressed by the Fire TV 85" Omni Mini-LED and Soundbar Plus with surround sound, and encourages developers to optimize their content for this feature. Additionally, Amazon demonstrated Fire TV's ability to create AI-generated images, which can be tried on Fire TV devices.
