Amazon is considering merging its Rufus AI shopping assistant directly into its main search bar by adding AI-generated summaries above traditional search results for certain queries. This hybrid approach aims to provide conversational summaries without redirecting users to a separate AI tool, balancing quick product searches with more open-ended research.
