This type of frictionless experience has the potential to spark a new movement in how people shop online – one that moves away from search engines like Google and e-commerce platforms like Amazon toward conversational agents with curated recommendations, comparisons, and easy checkout experiences.

    Are you using a time machibe to access Amazon in the past? Because for me the experience looks more like this:

    1. I type in “amazon.com” in my browser
    2. I use the search bar and get a bunch of sponsored results that are not what I was searching for at all and all use the same garbage photoshopped photos
    3. I scroll through pages upon pages of irrelevant dropshipped garbage offered by companies like JHUVOY, BRILGOVA and other random letters.
    4. I finally find something that looks like it’s not a cheap knockoff
    5. I add it to my shopping cart and click through offers for Amazon prime and offers for dropshipped garbage that I might want to add to my cart.
    6. I proceed to payment

    Sigh, I really miss the old internet, I truly do…
