Shipt, the same-day delivery service owned by Target, has introduced a new AI-powered shopping assistant called "Ask Shipt." This tool enables customers to create customized shopping carts by simply describing their needs or uploading photos of dishes. For example, users can request a cart for a specific event or budget, and the assistant will generate a ready-to-buy list of items tailored to those requirements. The feature also supports identifying ingredients from images, streamlining the shopping process. This launch places Shipt alongside other delivery platforms such as Instacart, Uber Eats, and DoorDash, which have recently integrated AI assistants into their apps. The introduction of Ask Shipt follows Target's broader adoption of AI features on its website, including photo search and review summaries. The new assistant is available now through the Shipt app and website.
