Sharper vision is only the beginning, Amazon says, and the other side of
Rings new functions can all be attributed to Alexa+, starting with Alexa+ greetings.

Essentially, Alexa+ can act on your behalf as a doorbell assistant. For example, if someone arrives at your door, Alexa+ can talk to them and ask their reasons for visiting, and will keep you informed as the interaction progresses. Itll even be able to assist with deliveries and provide instructions for visitors.

Another smart function coming to the new Ring 4K line is Familiar Faces, a feature that can identify familiar visitors and thus reduce notifications
that are triggered by familiar people. Amazon delves into the feature even more:

'The feature enriches Ring notifications, video events, and timeline with personalized context of who is detected, eliminating guesswork and making it effortless to find and review important moments involving specific familiar people across the Ring App experience'.
