For connected households, this conversational AI doorbell can interact with visitors, manage deliveries, and maintain privacy even when homeowners are busy or away.
As smart homes become more connected, homeowners are looking for security systems that go beyond passive monitoring. Traditional video doorbells can show who is at the door, but they still require the homeowner to respond in real time. With more people working remotely, traveling frequently or managing busy schedules, there is a growing need for smarter front door solutions that can interact naturally with visitors while maintaining privacy and security.
Addressing this, Amazon has introduced Alexa+ Greetings, a conversational AI feature for compatible Ring video doorbells. This allows the device to answer the door, speak naturally with visitors and manage common situations such as deliveries or sales visits. With this, the doorbell moves beyond being just a camera and becomes an intelligent assistant that can respond on the homeowner’s behalf.
This update combines Ring’s AI powered video analysis with the device’s conversational capabilities. When someone presses the doorbell, the system analyzes visual details such as what the visitor is holding, how they are dressed and their activity at the door. Using this context, Alexa determines the situation and responds based on the homeowner’s preset instructions. Users can customize responses through the Ring app or Alexa enabled devices and all interactions handled by Alexa are logged in the Ring app, allowing homeowners to review both video and conversation history later.
Key features of the device are :
- Conversational AI interaction at the front door
- Context aware responses using video analysis
- Customizable visitor instructions via Ring and Alexa apps
- Event history with recorded conversations
- Designed to manage visits without confirming occupancy
With this device, the company aims to make front door security more proactive, intelligent and convenient for modern smart homes.
