View original source

Shipt, a same-day delivery service owned by Target, has unveiled a new AI tool called "Ask Shipt" to improve customer shopping experience. This announcement comes at a time when several other delivery services are integrating AI to enhance service offerings. As of Wednesday, customers can utilize this tool to customize shopping carts using prompts and even upload pictures to add all ingredients to the cart based on a dish they saw. Users can also get shopping suggestions tailored to their budgets or specific needs, like meals for events or after-school snacks. This addition is part of a broader trend where platforms, including Instacart's Clementine, Uber Eats, and DoorDash, are incorporating AI-driven features to streamline user experience.

  • The "Ask Shipt" feature resembles similar advancements made on Target's broader platform, indicating an integrated approach to improving digital and personalized shopping experiences across Target's subsidiaries.
