Let’s explain to you what it is and how to use Rufus AIAmazon‘s new artificial intelligence chat. This is an assistant that has been implemented directly in the online store app to help you when choosing products.
Let’s start by giving you a simple explanation of what Rufus exactly is, and especially what he is not. This way you can understand what you can expect from this assistant. And then, we’ll tell you how it works.
What is Rufus IA
Rufus IA is an artificial intelligence-based chat that has been trained to act as a purchasing assistant. This means that their answers will be limited to the things you ask about products you can find on Amazon.
With this, you won’t be able to do most of the things you can do with other AIs like ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini. Simply, it will only be able to respond to you questions about products you want to find within Amazon itself, and its characteristics.
The idea here is that you don’t have to do these searches within the app. You can simply ask what you want with natural languageso that this AI can process it, extract the characteristics of what you want to find, and offer you results with product names and even links.
As is evident, Rufus’s responses They are limited to products within Amazon itselfand not to others that are not within their catalog. The results also depend on the description of each product.
How to use this chatbot
What you have to do is ask Rufus what you want to find. To do this, the first thing is to click on its icon at the bottom right, at which point a window will open welcoming you and with some suggestions on how to ask.
try give some specification of what you want. It can be something as simple as searching for a monitor with QD-OLED technology, and the chatbot will respond with links pointing to monitors that contain this technology within their store.
But in the prompt you can also include more specific things, such as the average rating of the product on Amazonthe Price range or even the genre or category. For example, I have asked him to tell me progressive rock albums with ratings above 4 stars with a price of less than 10 euros, and he has been able to show me results.
The negative part, something you should keep in mind is that this AI still has hallucinationswhich is what it is called when one of these chatbots says things that are false. There is still a lot of room for improvement, and you should make sure to verify the results and that what it tells you really has the characteristics you have asked for.
