In this episode of Upside, Ali and Zamir pull no punches as they dissect Amazon’s new AI content creation tool, and their verdict is not flattering. Despite Amazon’s immense resources, the duo find themselves questioning how such a major player could release a product that falls so far short of expectations.
What’s Covered in This Episode
Ali and Zamir break down their experience testing Amazon’s latest AI tool, designed to help sellers generate product images and copy. What they find instead is a frustratingly basic system that lacks the quality, creativity and usability required to make a meaningful impact for sellers.
Ali voices particular disbelief, questioning how a company at the forefront of global e-commerce could deliver something so poorly executed. He argues that the tool reflects a deeper issue within Amazon: a growing disconnect between the company’s technological ambition and its understanding of what sellers actually need.
Zamir expands on the missed opportunity, pointing out that while AI-driven content generation has huge potential, Amazon’s implementation feels rushed and underdeveloped. The pair compare it to existing third-party tools that already outperform Amazon’s offering in both image generation and copy quality.
The discussion closes with a reflection on what this misstep says about Amazon’s approach to innovation and how sellers can continue to stay ahead by using better-performing alternatives already available in the market.
Key Takeaways
- Amazon’s AI tool disappoints: The new content generator fails to deliver usable imagery or effective copy for sellers.
- A missed opportunity: Despite its scale and resources, Amazon’s tool lacks innovation and polish.
- User needs overlooked: The product feels detached from the realities of how sellers create and optimise listings.
- Copy still matters: Concise, conversion-driven copy remains essential, and this tool fails to produce it.
- Better options exist: Third-party tools continue to outperform Amazon’s own offering across quality and functionality.
- Innovation gap revealed: The release highlights a disconnect between Amazon’s technological potential and its practical delivery.
