Flipkart unveils smart assistant to handhold first-time e-commerce users
Walmart-owned
e-commerce company Flipkart
has introduced a ‘smart assistive interface’ feature called
‘Flipkart Saathi’ to support first-time e-commerce users on the
platform and enhance their overall shopping experience. This feature
is available in Hindi and English to start with and is Flipkart’s
attempt towards further humanising e-commerce. With this feature,
Flipkart aims to empower consumers across tier II, III cities and
beyond in rural India, as it seeks to bring the next 200 million
consumers online.
The
assistive interface feature (audio-guided navigation) aims at
mimicking the typical real-life shopping experience for consumers who
are comfortable being assisted by a salesperson. It uses a
combination of text and audio-based instructions to guide new users
in their e-commerce journey. This includes a list of key actions in
the form of pop-up texts followed by audio for a better
understanding. As audio is simple to follow and offers relatability,
consumers can follow the instructions in a more immersive manner.
