Amazon's AI Revolution Unveiled

Rufus, Cosmo, AI Listings, and the Future of Shopping

Significant Shifts at Amazon

At Keplo, we've noticed something significant unfolding at Amazon. Here's an overview of recent developments: Rufus has been introduced to shoppers as BETA, AI Listing Enhancements are being rolled out in Seller Central, papers are circulating about the Cosmo Engine, and Amazon have announced Ad Retargeting. While each of these events may not provide the full picture individually, piecing them together reveals the unfolding shift and direction we're heading.

Rufus

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably encountered AI chats, such as ChatGPT, that help you explore topics, assist with tasks, generate outputs of various formats, and much more. Rufus is basically the same but built specifically for Amazon shopping. It has been launched as BETA and has received very mixed reviews. The most common negative review being that it's not great at recommending products - a significant failure considering that is its primary purpose.

AI Listing Enhancement

This is why, in our opinion, Amazon introduced the AI Listing Enhancement program. Their aim is to fill in knowledge gaps and provide Rufus with the necessary information it needs to retrieve the semantic context of listings and thus enhance its understanding of the Amazon product catalog. This is because Rufus operates differently from keyword-based search. All large language models require a significantly larger dataset to retrieve context effectively. Hence why, Amazon are currently trying to update listings with AI so they can feed Rufus everything it needs to become more intelligent and improve its ability to recommend products.

Cosmo

Amazon Cosmo is a major development. Think of it as a TikTok algorithm for shopping, but way better. It will operate in the background alongside Rufus, gathering data and creating profiles of shoppers. Combined, Rufus and the ad placements will be able to target the 'ideal' shopper by matching their specific needs with the perfect product at the right moment. So far, the primary focus has been the collection and analysis of keyword searches and volumes, but user behavior is a much bigger beast. The recent announcement of ad retargeting is also indicative of the types of changes we can expect from Amazon in the near future.
