Excited to have Alexa for Shopping rolled out for all of our customers, bringing together Rufus and Alexa+ to give customers an even more compelling AI shopping assistant.
Alexa for Shopping is like having an expert personal shopper who already knows you and remembers your preferences, past purchases, and conversations, and carries that knowledge and understanding across your phone, laptop, and Echo devices.
Look forward to seeing how customers use it.
