Shipt, the same-day delivery platform owned by Target, has introduced an AI-powered shopping assistant called “Ask Shipt.” According to the announcement, this tool enables customers to shop more intuitively by converting prompts into customized, ready-to-buy shopping carts. The assistant can handle requests such as creating a cart for a specific event with a set number of attendees or generating meal ideas based on budget constraints. Additionally, users can upload a photo of a dish, and the AI will identify and add the necessary ingredients to the cart.
The launch of Ask Shipt positions Shipt among a growing number of delivery platforms integrating AI assistants into their services. The article notes that Instacart recently unveiled an AI-powered grocery shopping assistant named Clementine, while Uber Eats and DoorDash have also introduced similar features this year. The introduction of Ask Shipt follows other recent AI enhancements on Target.com, including AI-powered photo search and personalized shopping experiences. The tool is now available to users through the Shipt app and on Shipt.com. Source
