Amazon retires Rufus and replaces it with Alexa for shopping: the AI assistant goes agentic

Amazon has retired the Rufus AI shopping assistant and replaced it with Alexa for shopping, in a structural pivot that turns the AI shopping experience from passive Q&A to agentic recommendation and execution. Christian Umbach has flagged the launch with the most detailed structural read; Roger Dunn captures the strategic significance ("Amazon just turned Rufus into an agent"); Vanessa Hung provides additional context on Amazon's long-running voice-commerce strategy dating back to 2014.
