This past May, Amazon launched a personalized AI assistant tool primarily meant for shopping called “Alexa for Shopping.” And since its introduction to the Amazon app and site, it has emerged as an extremely helpful tool that can fulfill a wide range of requests.
With a combination of product knowledge, information gathered from across the web and shopping capabilities powered by a user’s preferences, shopping history & past conversations, Alexa for Shopping stands out as one of the best tools sitting inside the Amazon app and site. Being able to tap into that AI assistant to compare product options, find the best deals, track prices, actually purchase a product, etc., has shown why Alexa for Shopping is such an efficient tool.
With the holiday shopping season almost upon us, it’s no surprise that Amazon has sought to make it even better and make the online shopping experience even less of a hassle.
Here are some of the newly added 100+ features that are now available within Alexa for Shopping and the ones I can’t wait to put into action when the time is right.
Amazon announced that Alexa for Shopping has over 100 new capabilities that are geared towards making shopping on Amazon so much easier. Some of the more prominent upgrades worth mentioning are:
A month prior, Amazon launched another useful feature that improved Alexa for Shopping. “Update Me When” update has given users personalized notifications that alert them when something new or relevant happens around a new product release. Simply telling it “Update me when a new Kindle Paperwhite launches” sets up a weekly announcement check-in that will only notify users when something major happens on that front. Right now, all of those aforementioned Alexa for Shopping features are available to all US Amazon customers.
Amazon is my go-to online shopping site and I’ve gotten even more out of its massive lineup of items thanks to Alexa for Shopping’s assistance. After inquiring about how much I saved with Prime, Alexa for Shopping put everything into an easily understandable format that proves the AI shopping assistant’s latest upgrades are amazing:
