Reported experience

  1. What they did

    In the Amazon app or website, you tap the cursive A icon to open Alexa for Shopping. On a product page you tell it a target price, such as a percentage off. It watches the price and either notifies you or, with Auto Buy, purchases the item with your default payment method. Recurring purchases are added to your cart on a schedule, and you check out yourself.

  2. How it went

    The article describes the features but doesn't report a hands-on test or savings figures. Auto Buy covers only Amazon-fulfilled items and requires Prime. Sponsored products appear in recommendations.

  3. Worth knowing

    Auto Buy charges your default card automatically once the price you set is reached, though Amazon's FAQ says you can cancel within the first 24 hours.

Example prompts

Try with Alexa+
Track the price of [product name or Amazon link] and alert me when it falls to [target price] or lower. Don't buy it automatically. Pause and show me the product, price, seller, and payment method, and wait for my approval first. Tell me the current price and confirm the alert is set.
