AMAZON LAUNCHES TWO AI TOOLS; GAME-CHANGERS OR GIMMICKS?
- Video Generator-The Video Generator enables advertisers to turn static product images into engaging short video ads, simplifying video production and saving time and money. This tool is particularly beneficial for small businesses, as video ads typically yield higher engagement than static ones. Its automated features make video creation accessible for those with limited budgets. However, it has limitations, such as basic content generation and limited customization, which may hinder businesses needing more complex storytelling. Currently in beta and available only to select U.S. advertisers, its effectiveness remains to be fully evaluated.
- Project Amelia- Amazon’s Project Amelia is an AI tool designed for third-party sellers, providing an assistant to automate tasks like resolving account issues and retrieving sales data. This allows sellers to focus on business growth while improving efficiency. Amelia offers personalized insights for better decision-making in inventory management, pricing, and sales strategies, benefiting especially smaller businesses without advanced analytics tools.
However, there are concerns about over-reliance on AI for crucial business tasks, as sellers may worry about potential errors and loss of control over their operations. Overall, while the tool can enhance efficiency, it raises questions about dependency and trust in AI systems.
- Competition show, sellers will compete in front of Amazon executives and celebrity judges. The show is set to premier next month (Oct). Finalists will have their products sold in a new Buy It Now Amazon store, and the winner of each episode will earn $20,000
