AMAZON'S NEW AI AGENT WILL SHOP THIRD-PARTY SITES FOR YOU

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Amazon is testing a new AI shopping agent with a subset of users. The 'Buy for Me' feature displays products from other websites and allows users to request to purchase the products without ever leaving the Amazon Shopping app. Amazon's AI shopping agent visits the site and purchases items, filling out users' details automatically. The agent is powered by Amazon's Nova AI models. Amazon says that the feature uses encryption to securely insert users' billing information on third-party sites and that it can't see what users are ordering from outside of its platform.
