Amazon has launched a feature allowing users to shop with Alexa AI via SMS after blocking Meta Muse.
Amazon has introduced a feature that enables users to shop with Alexa AI via SMS, supporting actions like searching for products, adding items to the cart, and purchasing. It also allows managing shopping lists, tracking prices, searching for products across web pages, comparing products, and checking order status. This feature is based on recent shopping-related updates to Alexa, where users can share images to search for similar products. Amazon states that Alexa will learn user preferences over time and provide recommendations. Some US users have received invitations to enable the feature, while those who haven't can join the waiting list. The feature will be rolled out more broadly in the coming weeks.
How the accounts differ:The Verge mentions the feature is based on Alexa for Shopping launched in May, while TechCrunch does not mention the date of the launch.
