Amazon has extended its Prime Day shopping extravaganza, giving ever-changing discounts on July 8 through July 11. The longer shopping window than usual for the Prime Day sale coincides with AI in tech becoming a norm: Whether you like it or hate it, new devices are likely to have a generative AI add-on or two. With this convergence in mind, we’ve rounded up the best discounts on AI-enhanced products and devices for professionals.
Amazon added AI assistance to the 2025 Prime Day, too. If you have access to the Alexa+ virtual assistant, it can recommend deals for you or notify you when an item drops into your preferred price range.
Note: These deals are only available for Amazon Prime customers and Amazon Prime Student members. The pricing and product availability information was accurate at the time of publication.
Best smart home deal: Amazon Echo Spot
Naturally, Amazon has discounted its own smart home hub. The smart alarm clock does much more than wake you up, although it does that, too: You can control other smart home devices from the Echo, as well as play music, control thermostats, and set reminders for work.
The Echo Spot doesn’t come with generative AI features by default, but it can connect to Alexa+ – which, if you’re shopping as a Prime member, you already have for free. Alexa+ offers more naturalistic conversations than the basic tier and expanded agentic actions such as booking restaurant tables or show tickets.
Price: $44.99, discount is 44%
Best tablet deal: Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro)
The iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip will be able to run Apple Intelligence features when they are fully released in the fall. The hardware will enable live translation, picture and emoji editing, visual intelligence to answer questions about itself on the screen, synchronicity between event announcements and the user’s calendar, and more. Those features are in preview and available for developers to try out now. For consumers, you’ll be ready to try out on-device AI when Apple catches up to its competitors this fall. The iPad mini is also a reliable and elegant tablet, offering an 8.3-inch screen and 128 GB of storage.
Price: $379 (128 GB and WiFI only, as opposed to WiFi + cellular), discount is 24%
Best phone deal: Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
Amazon has put a deeper discount on the larger (6.8-inch) version of the Google Pixel 9 Pro than on the smaller phone. The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL from 2024 fully takes advantage of Google Gemini, with naturalistic conversation, the new smart screenshot folder with AI summaries, and photo editing.
The phone on sale on Amazon is unlocked and comes with one free year of Gemini Advanced, the version of Google’s AI models that offer longer context windows, deeper reasoning, and other perks for generative AI power users.
Price: $749 (Hazel color only), discount is 32%
Best smartwatch deal: Apple Watch Series 10
Apple’s 2024 smartwatch is light on AI, as Apple devices generally are compared to their competitors. Siri is available for the Apple Watch Series 10, but generative AI features remain confined to the iPhone you’ll likely pair the watch with. However, the fitness features are robust and smart in their own right: The watch is packed with activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, cycle tracking, a sleep apnea detector, and the Workout app.
Price: $279.00, discount is 30%. Only Apple Watches with GPS and certain case and band sizes, but not AppleCare+, are eligible for this price.
Best audio deal: Apple AirPods Pro 2
Apple’s reliable AirPods are 40% off at Amazon. These are the second-generation AirPods originally released in 2022, so they aren’t equipped with generative AI, but the deep discount and audio tech make them worthy of being on the list. The AirPods offer active noise cancellation, a transparency mode, Siri integration with gesture (nod or shake) controls, and a hearing test.
Price: $149 (without AppleCare+), discount is 40%
