The launch follows a familiar script.
Amazon’s Alexa for Shopping is here to revolutionize the way you shop on the platform. With AI-powered recommendations, it’s supposed to make finding products easier. Because, you know, searching on Amazon wasn’t already easy enough. Alexa for Shopping replaces Rufus, because who needs consistency in naming conventions anyway? The update arrives just in time to make shopping on Amazon slightly more tolerable. It’s not like we’ve seen this “personalized shopping experience” pitch before.
