Expert Insight
Zeba Khan, Director of Consumer Electronics at Amazon India, stated: "Smartchoice was built on a simple insight: customers don't need more options, they need the right option they can trust. Consumer electronics is a category where the number of features, specifications, and choices can overwhelm even an informed buyer. Smartchoice solves this by matching products to how customers will actually use them. With Smartchoice, Rufus, Lens AI, AI-generated Review Summaries, and Price History working together, Amazon.in offers expert-curated recommendations backed by AI tools that help customers make confident purchase decisions at every step."
How Amazon's Smartchoice Works
Smartchoice curates product selections based on customers' unique needs. Instead of browsing hundreds of options filtered by price or specifications, customers are guided to a shortlist tailored to their specific use case. Amazon reports that customers using the feature spend 25% less time researching before purchase. Student laptops and AI-powered PCs are seeing the highest adoption in computing, while productivity-focused tablets lead in the tablet segment. In newer categories, customers are gravitating toward premium and higher-spec products, particularly in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, which account for 65% of all Smartchoice purchases.
