Amazon testing AI audio product summaries
Amazon announced on Wednesday that it started testing new short-form audio summaries on specific product pages, where AI-powered shopping assistants reveal key product features and reviews.
"These AI shopping experts have done the research for you, analyzing product details, customer reviews, and information from across the web, then bringing product details to life and allowing customers to simply hear the highlights," the retailer stated in a press release.
Users can access these brief audio overviews on product pages by selecting the "Hear the highlights" option within the Amazon Shopping application. The pilot program targets items that typically need careful evaluation before purchasing, offering valuable insights through comprehensive discussions, and helping Amazon users "save time while shopping."
