Amazon Alexa can now alert you when something new might tempt you to shop

Amazon has launched a new feature in its Alexa shopping assistant that sends personalized notifications when new products or events matching a user's interests become available, such as new releases from favorite brands, artists, or authors. Historically, Alexa mainly answered product questions when shoppers asked directly, but this feature represents a shift toward helping anticipate purchases before a shopper thinks to ask. The feature is part of a broader set of AI-powered shopping capabilities Amazon has added to Alexa, including price tracking that can automatically purchase items when they reach desired prices, personalized deal sourcing, and AI overviews of products during searches.
