This type of frictionless experience has the potential to spark a new movement in how people shop online – one that moves away from search engines like Google and e-commerce platforms like Amazon toward conversational agents with curated recommendations, comparisons, and easy checkout experiences.

    Its like they have never used ai, these things are everything but frictionless.

    The whole thing reads like an excuse to train on shopping data, promising to trow a bone to individual sellers so they wont complain as much.

      Exactly. You know what is frictionless?

      1. I type in “Amazon.com”(or any of a dozen different shopping platforms) in my browser
      2. I use the site’s search bar to look up the item I want
      3. I see which the suits my needs best out of the results
      4. I click “buy now”

      I’m sorry OpenAI, but there’s really no realistically better way to shop for things online.
