Online retailers who hate trying to come up with compelling product listings for all your products can breathe a sigh of relief. Amazon is making it easier to develop engaging and attractive product listings with a new generative AI tool. 

As was revealed at the recent Amazon Accelerate event, the new AI tool can craft product listing details including product titles, bullet points, and descriptions using large language models (LLMs). 

Retailers only need to provide a short description (it can even just be a few keywords) and the AI system will generate in-depth product details. 

As Robert Tekiela, vice president of Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems, said in the announcement:

“With our new generative AI models, we can infer, improve, and enrich product knowledge at an unprecedented scale and with dramatic improvement in quality, performance, and efficiency.

Our models learn to infer product information through the diverse sources of information, latent knowledge, and logical reasoning that they learn.

For example, they can infer a table is round if specifications list a diameter or infer the collar style of a shirt from its image.”

While early feedback for the tool is reportedly very positive, brands are still encouraged to review their product descriptions before using them in product listings.

In a closed-door presentation at the Microsoft offices, the company revealed it would be integrating ChatGPT’s AI capabilities into Bing and Microsoft web browsers. 

Introducing the new feature, Microsoft CEO reportedly told event attendees that “this technology is going to reshape pretty much every software category.”

Billed as “your AI-powered copilot for the web”, the new feature unites information from Bing with capabilities from Edge web browser and artificial intelligence. Together, users can turn to AI features to get direct answers to questions, find information in more effective ways, and recontextualize the content they find.

According to Nadella, search engines currently fail to deliver the most efficient experience up to 40% of the time, causing users to click on search results and immediately click back to search results. 

With these new capabilities, Microsoft hopes to change that radically.

How It Works

The new AI-powered Bing uses a next-generation language model from OpenAI (the creators of ChatGPT) which is reportedly even more powerful than ChatGPT.

Additionally, Microsoft is using a new model to improve the relevance of answers and keep them up to date. 

Nadella says this AI model has already been applied to Bing’s core search algorithm, causing the biggest jump in search relevance ever. 

The centerpiece of the new experience is an expanded search box that allows users to input up to 1,000 characters and a chatbot that allows users to interact with Bing in conversational language. 

Notably, this means the search engine will be able to easily follow up on previous searches and provide greater context or translate information into more understandable formats.

For example, the company demonstrated the AI’s capabilities by quickly summarizing a 15-page PDF with a single click or translating a piece of code into another programming language.

Try It Yourself

The new search experience is seeing a limited preview release on desktop devices. Starting today, anyone can try out the new experience by visiting Bing.com and conducting a series of sample searches. 

However, the feature is expected to see a complete release and mobile version soon.
