Amazon rolled out its generative AI tool that can answer shoppers’ questions about a product and respond to creative prompts. The feature has been designed to prevent shoppers from having to scroll through reviews or a product listing itself in order to find information.
Amazon spokesperson Maria Boschetti said, “We’re constantly inventing to help make customers’ lives better and easier, and are currently testing a new feature powered by generative AI to improve shopping on Amazon by helping customers get answers to commonly asked product questions”.
This news highlights a clear trend of AI capabilities beginning to merge with ecommerce. Just last week Microsoft and Walmart announced an AI-powered search function that aims to understand the context behind a customer’s query in order to generate personalised search results.
