In short. Alexa+ can use explicitly remembered dietary preferences in documented recipe and restaurant recommendations.
Definition: Yes. Alexa+ can use a dietary fact that you explicitly ask it to remember when it provides personalized food recommendations. Amazon gives vegetarian and gluten-free household preferences as examples, including recipe and restaurant suggestions.
Key facts
- Amazon's Alexa+ feature guide says you can ask Alexa to remember that you are vegetarian or that your partner is gluten-free for more personalized recommendations.
- Amazon's Alexa+ introduction says remembered facts and dietary preferences can help Alexa+ suggest a recipe or restaurant for a family dinner.
- Amazon's Alexa privacy FAQ says a preference for Thai food may be remembered and taken into account when you ask for restaurant recommendations.
What does an explicit memory request change?
An explicit memory request is a statement or instruction that asks Alexa+ to retain a detail for later use. Amazon's feature guide places these requests under “Remember important information” and gives dietary status as an example about you or a family member. A request can therefore record a food preference as part of the information Alexa+ uses in later interactions.
For example, this request follows Amazon's documented pattern:
Alexa, remember that I am a vegetarian.
Amazon's guide says the remembered detail can support personalized recommendations. Its examples cover a vegetarian person, a gluten-free partner, a family recipe, and a restaurant the household wants to try. The page also describes meal inspiration that maps to personal dietary preferences and can lead to ingredients being added to a grocery list.
How does Amazon connect memory with recommendations?
Amazon's Alexa+ introduction, updated on 21 July 2026, describes Alexa+ as personalized and says customers can ask it to remember family recipes, important dates, facts, and dietary preferences. The same passage gives the dinner example: Alexa+ can remember that one person loves pizza, a daughter is vegetarian, and a partner is gluten-free, then suggest a recipe or restaurant.
Amazon's privacy FAQ describes the same mechanism through conversational history. It says Alexa uses notes, calendars, emails, attachments, linked accounts, and other information to answer requests and personalize the experience. It gives Thai food as a specific example of a preference that may be remembered and considered for restaurant recommendations. These examples establish a documented connection between an explicit food preference and later food suggestions.
What can you review about the remembered detail?
Amazon calls the Alexa+ memory feature “Remember This.” Its FAQ says the items you ask Alexa to remember are called notes. You can review them through More > Alexa Privacy in the Alexa app and on Echo Show devices. Amazon also says Alexa may use these notes to provide and improve its services and personalize the experience, and that anyone using your Alexa-enabled devices may be able to access them.
The privacy FAQ separately says you can review and delete voice recordings, text transcripts, and typed requests in the same Alexa Privacy area. Those records and a Remember This note are different kinds of information in Amazon's description. Deleting a chat's recordings, transcripts, and typed requests may leave other records of interactions, including information provided through interactions and notes in Remember This, so the memory note needs to be reviewed through its own control.
For a food business, these pages establish that Alexa+ can use remembered dietary details while handling meal and restaurant requests. They do not document a public publisher setting that controls whether a particular restaurant or recipe page is selected for such a recommendation.
