Amazon launches AI Store as searches for AI devices jump 60 percent YoY
Amazon India has launched a dedicated AI Store on its platform, grouping together AI-powered consumer electronics across categories. The move follows a 60 percent year-on-year rise in searches for AI-enabled devices on Amazon.in, indicating that AI is becoming a more direct factor in purchase decisions.
The store brings together products across laptops, smartphones, televisions, appliances, tablets, and wearables. Instead of focusing on specs, the page highlights what AI features actually do in day-to-day use, aiming to simplify discovery. Amazon says nearly two-thirds of AI device searches come from tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
Growth by category:
- Laptops and tablets: over 80 percent YoY
- Televisions: nearly 40 percent YoY
- Wearables: double-digit growth
This suggests demand is broadening across segments, with computing devices leading.

The AI Store extends that to product discovery As more devices carry AI branding, it is harder to assess what matters. A curated section with simpler explanations can help buyers narrow options faster.
