One prediction market prices this story:

  • Alexa+ / Alexa Plus — the market puts it at 77%, closing 31 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if an Amazon representative mentions Alexa+ or Alexa Plus during the upcoming earnings call, including the question-and-answer session. It resolves to No if this specific term is not used by any representative in that setting. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a bug as the resolution criteria, but only the official mention during the earnings call matters.
