أطلقت Amazon تحديثات جديدة لميزات البحث المرئي، مقدمة صوراً فورية مولدة بالذكاء الاصطناعي في شريط البحث لتسهيل العثور على المنتجات بوصف بصري دقيق. تتضمن الميزات الجديدة Lens Live، التي تتيح للمتسوقين التعرف على المنتجات ومقارنتها باستخدام الكاميرا والوصول إلى Alexa للتسوق. كما يمكن استكشاف مجموعات أزياء منسقة ومولدة بالذكاء الاصطناعي عبر ميزة "التسوق حسب الأسلوب". تتوفر هذه التحديثات حالياً في تطبيق Amazon Shopping على نظامي iOS و Android بالولايات المتحدة.
