๐ค OLYMPUS AI to UPEND LISTING OPTIMIZATION
Amazon is expected to announce its Olympus AI this week at its annual AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas. Itโs been in development for more than a year, as first reported last April here in BDSN.
Despite investing over $8 billion in Anthropicโs Claude chatbot and related technologies, Amazon is developing Olympus to bolster its independence in the competitive AI market.
Olympus reduces reliance on Anthropic for multimodal capabilities while allowing Amazon to directly compete with AI leaders like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI.
As Google and Microsoft integrate generative AI into their ecosystems, Olympus positions Amazon as a leader in AI-enhanced search, particularly within its vast e-commerce and AWS ecosystems.
Olympus is a multimodal AI model that integrates and interprets text, image, and video data. Its standout feature is enabling users to search for specific moments within videos using natural language prompts.
For example, someone could type, โShow me the game-winning basketball shot,โ and Olympus would find and display that exact moment. While initially targeted for video search and archiving, its potential in e-commerce, media, and retail are enormous.
Olympusโs capabilities are poised to transform the way products are discovered, searched, and marketed on Amazon.
1. Enhanced Product Discoverability
โ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐: Olympus enables search by visual attributes. A customer might search for โred jacket with silver zippersโ and Olympus could analyze images and videos to deliver precise matches.
2. Video Content Optimization
โ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐: Olympus processes and indexes video content, making scenes searchable. ๐๐๐๐๐ค๐จ ๐จ๐๐ค๐ฌ๐๐๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐๐ช๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐๐จ ๐ค๐ง ๐๐ค๐ฌ-๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐จ๐๐๐ง๐๐.
3. Listing and Metadata Adjustments
โ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐: Olympus uses visual and textual data to interpret product relevance. Sellers with incomplete or generic listings may lose visibility.
4. Search Ranking Shifts
โ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐: The integration of multimodal indexing could significantly alter Amazonโs A9 algorithm. Products with optimized multimedia content may rank higher.
5. New Advertising Formats
โ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐: Advanced visual AI could enable scene-based advertising. Imagine ads that target users searching for specific moments like โsomeone unboxing a blender.โ
