Amazon is rolling out a new texting feature for Alexa that lets users shop via text message. Available to select US customers by invite, the feature allows users to send grocery lists, request re-orders, search for gifts, and even send photos for product matching. Alexa will respond with suggestions, add items to your cart, and complete orders automatically.
The AI learns shopping habits over time to provide better recommendations. Users can also set up sale alerts, check pricing history for up to a year, and track delivery status. All requests sync across the Alexa app and Amazon website.
To join the early test group, sign up via Amazon's invite link and link your phone number.
