Amazon folds Rufus into Alexa for Shopping

Amazon is retiring the Rufus shopping assistant brand and moving its history, recommendations and 300 million users into Alexa for Shopping.

Qué cambió

The new assistant adds conditional shopping actions, including adding an item when a target price is reached.

Advertising is part of the shift because sponsored products can move into natural-language AI answers.

Por qué importa

Rufus users keep their preference history, but the product boundary moves from Q&A toward delegated buying.
