Conjugate -éXer, -eXer, -eter, -eler verbs in Le Futur (future tense)

Why is amener included in this example: Nous aménerons/amènerons Louise avec nous.

When is amener conjugated with anything other than an accent grave?

Bonjour à tous !

Indeed, what a mistake :(
As S A and Alan pointed out, amener  doesn't follow the -ÉxER pattern, but the -ExER pattern mentioned below in the lesson, meaning that it only takes an accent grave in Le Futur.

Thanks to your feedback, I've now updated the examples accordingly :)

Merci beaucoup à tous et bonne journée !

Actually, amener doesn't have an accent of any kind in futur simple: J'amenerai, tu ameneras, etc.

Amener follows the pattern for acheter, so it does takes a grave (but never an acute) in the future. So the example seems to be wrong. Acheter is also covered in the lesson:
