I recently explored AI-powered shopping assistants to alleviate online shopping decision fatigue. I tried Perplexity Shopping, integrated within Perplexity AI, aimed at simplifying product discovery and purchase. My specific search was for a flat, clear water bottle that fits a work purse, is leak-proof, and accommodates a water filter.
Perplexity Shopping utilizes AI to analyze user intents through natural language queries, offering tailored product recommendations, price comparisons, and reviews. Available on both free and Pro tiers ($20/month), it includes features like real-time price monitoring, wishlist options, and a unique Snap to Shop function.
While some advanced functions are locked behind the Pro subscription, the free tier is robust enough for specific searches. My experience was positive; the platform streamlined my transition from product idea to potential purchase, showcasing the power of AI in enhancing online shopping convenience.
