It's September 9th. I'm Corey with the story. This is Tech News today driven by AI and built for tech enthusiasts. So shipped, you know, the delivery service that Target owns, they just dropped a new feature called AskShift. Basically, it's an AI shopping assistant. You can tell it what you need, like for a party or for school lunches, and it'll build a whole shopping car for you. It's pretty wild. You can even show it a picture of food and it'll figure out the ingredients. Just a new territory though. Instacart just wrote out their own AI helper. Clementine and Uber Eats and DoorDash have been doing their thing with AI assistance for a minute now. It's like everyone's trying to get in on this AI shopping wave. The idea is to make shopping way easier. Instead of scrolling forever, you just tell the AI what you're looking for, maybe even how much you want to spend, and boom, it's all set up for you. They're even saying you can give it a budget, Michael Weeks' worth of dinners for under $50. This comes after Target itself has been adding AI stuff to its website, like ways to search

with pictures and summaries of what people are saying in. Reviews, it's all about making the shopping experience smoother and more personalized. You can check out AskShift right now on their app and website. It's live and ready to help you build those carts.
