Meta tests AI Shopping Research feature in Meta AI
Bloomberg reports Meta is testing a shopping research feature in Meta AI for select US desktop users. They see a "Shopping research" button that shows product carousels with images, prices, brand info, merchant links, and recommendations, personalised by location and gender.
What changed
No in-app checkout; users go to merchant sites. This follows Meta's acquisition of Manus AI and aligns with Zuckerberg's comments about upcoming AI shopping tools. Your Meta ad spend may soon support social feeds and AI product discovery.
