The future of shopping: Amazon Remembers

June 28, 2009

Amazon Remembers is an astonishing tool. It's buried inside the Amazon iPhone app.

  1. You take a picture of something. Hit submit.
  2. Amazon figures out what it is.
  3. You get a link to the product page on Amazon.

I tested it on the most boring product I could find: A bottle of water. Five minutes later:

Dear Amazon.com Customer,
