Amazon Says Rufus Usage Is Growing as AI Shopping Assistants Become More Important

In this briefing

Why it matters

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said monthly active users of the company's AI shopping assistant Rufus have increased sharply, while also noting that AI shopping still needs improvement.

What changed

MarketWatch reported that Amazon sees room to improve AI-driven shopping, especially around accurate pricing, product information and personalised shopping data.

The customer service angle

This is directly relevant to ecommerce support. If AI assistants become part of product discovery, they will also shape pre-sale questions, returns, compatibility checks and post-purchase support.

What businesses should watch

Retailers should keep product pages, FAQs and support policies clear and structured. AI shopping and support systems perform better when source content is accurate, current and easy to retrieve.
