German Retailer dm to Introduce AI Assistant for Shopping

The AI assistant, called dm-mitgedacht – dein Einkaufshelfer, is designed to simplify the shopping process for customers. It will create intelligent shopping lists that automatically recognize customers’ needs and habits. The assistant will then be able to arrange the shopping cart based on predefined parameters, such as dietary habits, price range, or eco-friendly preferences.

The AI assistant will also be able to complete the purchasing process automatically, including payment and order completion, upon customer request. This is a significant step in the adoption of AI in retail, as it allows customers to have a personalized shopping experience without the need for human intervention.

The introduction of the AI assistant is part of dm’s efforts to transform customer behavior and business models through the use of AI. The company’s director, Sebastian Bayer, notes that the adoption of AI will have far-reaching consequences for the company’s business and that retailers and brands must work together to ensure their offerings remain relevant to customers.
