Amazon will let you text Alexa your shopping list
TL;DR
Amazon is adding a new feature to Alexa for Shopping that allows customers to purchase items by texting the AI shopping assistant. Users can describe the products they're looking to buy and/or provide a photograph of the item, and Alexa for Shopping will search for matching results in Amazon listings, text back with recommendations, and order the item on the users' behalf.
Nauti's Take
For small teams, the sensible first test is a narrow purchasing workflow with a defined product set and order confirmation enabled. Check how reliably Alexa identifies similar items from photos, what data remains in the chat, and whether recommendations, prices, and variants are clear enough before any purchase is placed.
