Briefly

Amazon has ceased the Inspire feature, which was a TikTok-like feed for product discovery, and is now focusing on its AI-powered assistant, Rufus. Despite initial hopes for Inspire, its contribution to product discovery and sales was minimal. Moving forward, Amazon continues to showcase creator content through its 'Shop by Interest' tab, while also strengthening ties with social media platforms for in-app shopping. This shift aligns with the trend of integrating AI in shopping experiences, similar to competitors like Google and Meta.
