Pinterest, a platform known for its DIY projects and inspirational boards, has introduced Pinterest Assistant, an AI-powered "visual-first collaborator" that aims to revolutionize online shopping.
Pinterest Assistant will act as your personal stylist, interior decorator, and party planner
According to Pinterest, this new Assistant promises to understand users' tastes and preferences, helping them make informed purchasing decisions. However, its ability to make independent choices is still limited, much like its predecessor Clippy.
Pinterest Assistant is designed for indecisive shoppers who often rely on intuition to make purchasing decisions, as evident from the marketing pitch that caters to those who say, "I'll know it when I see it."
