Amazon Prime Day 2025 is not just about deals—it’s about a seismic shift in how shoppers discover and buy products, thanks to the explosive rise of generative AI. This year, traffic from generative AI sources is projected to skyrocket by a staggering 3,200% year-over-year, marking a pivotal moment for both consumers and brands.
The traditional hunt for bargains is being transformed by AI-powered shopping assistants like Amazon’s Rufus. These tools deliver personalized recommendations, answer product questions in real time, and help users sift through the overwhelming volume of deals with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

Rufus and other AI assistants rely heavily on well-structured product pages, detailed metadata, and rich descriptions to surface and recommend items.
