|
9.0
Amazon launched its 'Buy for Me' and 'Shop Direct' features in April last year and reported growth to over 500,000 Buy for Me products by November. The AI-powered tools let Amazon surface and even complete purchases from external brand websites within its app, prompting complaints from independent retailers about unsolicited listings, inaccuracies, and weakened direct customer relationships. Amazon says participation is optional and offers an opt-out.
