Join us at Amazon as we reinvent shopping and search again! We're not just talking about improving the existing Amazon shopping experiences, we're building a brand-new world where shopping is effortless and intuitive through the power of generative AI. Leveraging state-of-the-art Large Language Models and generative AI, we're creating a live, two-way natural language conversational shopping and search experiences that are fast, helpful and trustworthy.
As people turn to Amazon for deeper insights and understanding about products earlier and earlier in their shopping journeys, we're stepping up to the challenge by synthesizing complex information and multiple perspectives so customers can explore Amazon’s vast catalog to find exactly the products that solve their particular needs. Imagine having a back and forth conversation with an AI assistant helping you to articulate a problem you’re trying solve, effortlessly answering your product questions and giving you trustworthy advice and recommendations for what to buy. Also imagine a world where this same AI assistant reduces your mental load by proactively predicting and then fulfilling your shopping needs without you needing to interfere, thus saving you time and money along the way. We are building such an AI assistant to become the digital manifestation of the helpful salesperson that asks customers what they need, helps them navigate the store, waits unobtrusively while they look over the shelves, and helps them find complementary goods. What does economics have to teach this salesperson? Can we embed lessons from the behavioral literature to help customers? This is an opportunity to embed economic expertise into large scale generative models. This is just the beginning, and the future is yours to shape.
