Amazon will let you text Alexa your shopping list

Amazon is adding a new feature to Alexa for Shopping that allows users to purchase items by texting the AI shopping assistant. Users can describe the products they're looking to buy and/or provide a photograph of the item, and Alexa for Shopping will search for matching results in Amazon listings, text back with recommendations, and order the item on the user's behalf. The feature builds on the existing Alexa for Shopping experience, which was launched in May. The texting capability is initially rolling out to a small group of Amazon customers in the US today, with plans to expand to 'millions more customers' in the coming weeks.
