Amazon has introduced an SMS shopping feature for Alexa for Shopping, allowing users to describe products or send images via text message. The AI assistant will then search Amazon's catalog, recommend matching results, and place orders on their behalf. This feature is well-suited for purchasing everyday groceries, getting gift suggestions, and finding similar products. It can also remember user preferences and send reminders when watched items drop in price. Starting today, the feature is available to a small number of customers in the United States and will expand to millions more in the coming weeks.
