Amazon Launches Beta Test of AI-Powered 'Buy for Me' Shopping Feature

The new tool enables U.S. users to purchase products from third-party sites directly within the Amazon app, leveraging agentic AI for seamless transactions.

  • Amazon's 'Buy for Me' feature is now in beta testing for a limited group of U.S. users on iOS and Android devices.
  • The feature uses Amazon's Nova AI and Anthropic's Claude models to securely handle encrypted user data and complete purchases on third-party websites.
  • 'Buy for Me' integrates with Amazon's shopping experience, displaying eligible third-party products under a 'Shop brand sites directly' section in search results.
  • Delivery, returns, and customer service for purchases made through the feature are managed by the third-party brands, not Amazon.
  • Amazon plans to expand the feature to more users and brands based on feedback, reflecting its broader strategy to enhance AI-driven e-commerce solutions.
