Shipt Launches Ask Shipt AI Cart Tool as Rivals Roll Out Similar Shopping Assistants

Summary
Ask Shipt is now live in the Shipt app and on Shipt.com, letting shoppers turn text prompts or dish photos into ready-to-buy carts.
The tool can build orders for specific needs — such as a tailgate for 25 people or a family-of-5 meal under $35 — as Shipt pushes more intuitive, personalized shopping.
Shipt’s launch puts Target-owned delivery platform into a widening AI cart race after Instacart unveiled Clementine on Wednesday and Uber Eats and DoorDash added similar assistants earlier this year.
Target has already been adding AI features on Target.com, including photo search and review summaries, showing a broader effort to weave AI into shopping across its ecosystem.
