Shipt becomes the latest delivery app with an AI shopping assistant
techcrunch ·
Shipt, the same-day delivery platform owned by Target, has launched a new AI shopping assistant called "Ask Shipt." The tool helps customers shop more intuitively by turning prompts into customized, ready-to-buy carts, such as creating a cart for a tailgate or school lunches. Users can also upload a photo of a dish, and the assistant will identify and add the ingredients to a cart, or suggest meals based on budget constraints. This launch follows the introduction of other AI features on Target.com, including AI-powered photo search and customer review summaries. Ask Shipt is now available in the Shipt app and on Shipt.com, making Shipt the latest delivery app to adopt such a feature after competitors like Instacart, Uber Eats, and DoorDash.
