GoKawiilAmazon lets customers order products by texting Alexa for Shopping
Amazon is expanding Alexa for Shopping with a texting feature that lets users describe or photograph items they want to buy, after which Alexa searches Amazon listings, replies with recommendations, and can place the order. The feature, which appears as a contact called 'Amazon Alexa' in a phone's messages, began rolling out to a small group of US customers today and will reach more users in coming weeks.
