To make shopping easier and more efficient, Amazon’s conversational AI assistant Rufus will aid buyers in discovering products through personalised recommendations, price insights and product comparisons. Apart from that, AI Review Highlights, Quick View, and Buying Guides will simplify decision-making by surfacing key insights and enabling easier comparison of options.
