Amazon has introduced a text-based shopping feature for its Alexa AI assistant, allowing US customers to shop online by sending messages. The feature enables users to search for products, compare items, track prices, and complete purchases through text commands. This new capability is currently being rolled out to a limited number of invited customers in the United States, with plans for a broader release in the coming weeks. Amazon aims to enhance the shopping experience by integrating AI-driven recommendations and price tracking into the text-based interface. The company has also recently taken legal action against other AI shopping agents, such as Meta's Muse and Perplexity's Comet, citing unauthorized access and data storage concerns.
