Amazon’s New AI Shopping And Healthcare Assistants: What You Need To Know

Amazon is stepping up its game in the realm of artificial intelligence by testing new AI-powered shopping and healthcare assistants. As the company pushes to embed generative AI across a broader range of its services, consumers and tech enthusiasts alike are watching closely.

Key Developments

Shopping and Healthcare Integration

Amazon’s Interests AI invites users to describe what they’re interested in using natural language, such as “coffee brewing gadgets” or “latest pickleball accessories.” The AI then curates suitable products based on user descriptions. Notably, this feature is separate from Amazon’s main search bar.

Experimentation extends into healthcare with Health AI, a chatbot designed to:

  • Answer wellness-related queries
  • Provide information on common health conditions and care options
  • Recommend healthcare products such as medications and accessories

Unlike Amazon’s shopping chatbot, Health AI offers detailed medical advice, marked as “Clinically Reviewed” when vetted by licensed U.S. medical professionals.

Health AI also directs users to Amazon’s online pharmacy and One Medical services, which Amazon acquired for $3.9 billion in 2022.

Future Prospects

Amazon’s blog post reveals plans to roll out Interests AI to all U.S. users in the coming months. CEO Andy Jassy has noted nearly 1,000 generative AI applications developed or in development by Amazon staff. Besides e-commerce solutions, AWS customers can access a business chatbot dubbed Q.
