01What changed
What changed.
Rufus helped shoppers research and compare products. Alexa for Shopping expands AI shopping across the Amazon app, website, search bar, search results, product detail pages, price history, shopping guides, scheduled actions, and cart-building.
The practical seller work starts with the PDP: clearer product facts, stronger keyword coverage, complete attributes, review-aligned claims, and useful answers to buyer questions.
