GoKawiilAmazon adds text messaging to Alexa for Shopping AI agent
Amazon announced that its Alexa for Shopping AI agent, previously accessible only through the app and website, can now be used via text message. Users can text Alexa to order groceries, reorder past purchases, track price drops, compare products, and manage personalized shopping lists, with Alexa requiring approval before completing purchases. The feature launches Friday for a small group of US users via text invitation, with wider availability planned in coming months.
