On a call with analysts, Amazon CEO Andrew Jassy said its new AI-powered shopping assistant represented “a significant customer experience improvement for discovery.” The CEO said that its tool named Rufus would also be further personalized and expanded. He also noted that generative AI will be used across all its businesses.
AI-enabled technology in Rufus will let customers have text conversations with the shopping tool, providing personalized information and maintaining context to answer follow-up questions from customers.
Rufus will provide information about the product catalog, customer reviews, Q&As, and products available on Amazon. All of its data will relate to company products to make customers’ shopping experience on Amazon more personalized and quicker than before, as searches will be narrowed down to specifics.
Amazon acknowledged that users would also have to use their judgment as Rufus may not get everything exactly right, but the company believes that its shopping tool will fine-tune its responses over time.
