What are the key features of AI-powered shopping assistants?

Tags: Emerging tech

Okay so im really curious about these AI powered shopping assistants that keep popping up everywhere like how do they actually work and whats so special about them? I get that they use AI powered shopping tech to suggest products but what makes them different from just regular search filters do they actually learn my style or is it all just clever marketing? Like can they really understand what I want better than I do or do they just follow trends also are they tracking my every click or what? And what about privacy with all this AI powered shopping stuff going on is my data safe or should I be worried? Honestly im kinda torn between thinking its super helpful or maybe just another way to get me to spend more money… does anyone else feel this way or am I overthinking it?

Shops spend money on AI because they think it helps them to sell more and earn more. Not to help you; they don’t care about that.
The nice (and somewhat magic) thing about AI: it automatically learns what works.

If you don’t like that, find a shop (either a webshop or a real shop) that handles the way you like.

I have this one neat trick.

I make a shopping list before I head to any store.

AI hates this one neat trick.

AI-powered shopping assistants go beyond basic filters by learning from your behavior over time, like what you click on, how long you view something, and even what you ignore. This helps them suggest products based on your evolving style and preferences, not just trends.
