What Is Amazon’s Rufus?
Amazon’s Rufus is an AI assistant living natively on Amazon’s shopping platform. For shoppers, it delivers smarter answers and recommendations. For creators, it opens a treasure chest of insights:
Reveals real shopper queries that drive purchase decisions.
Surfaces top questions, trends, and pain points around any product.
Provides language and keywords you can echo in titles, thumbnails, and scripts.
Pair Rufus with generative AI tools like ChatGPT, and you’ve got a workflow superpower: instant prompts for product scripts, optimized titles, email copy, hashtags, and more.
Turning AI Insights Into Action
Creators in our community are already applying Rufus-driven workflows that deliver real results.
Extracting Buyer Psychology:
Prompt: “What are the top 5 questions Amazon shoppers ask before buying [your product]?”
This uncovers hidden gold: pain points, decisive features, and exact customer language to fold into your content.
“It is very valuable, I know, and you can use it. What are the top 5 questions Amazon shoppers ask before they buy? Answer that question, and you’ll win the CTR. Titles answer the question. CTR is a metric of click-through rate. You’re gonna be the first one over there, because the people are looking for the answers.” Stas Ive
Optimizing Titles for CTR:
Aligning titles with top intent questions spikes click-through rates, which in turn boosts placement in feeds and searches.
Hashtag, Keyword & Format Testing:
Let AI analyze reviews, competitor listings, and hashtags to surface:
Best-performing niche hashtags.
Must-use customer keywords.
Top formats (short-form, GIFs, thumbnails, etc.) tailored to your category.
Why Carousels Define Your Fate on Amazon
Beyond Rufus’s insights, creators also face the algorithm’s silent battlefield: Amazon product carousels.
Upper Carousel: Prime real estate under listing images, where CTRs double or triple compared to lower placements.
Lower Carousel: Still valuable, but less powerful than upper slots.
Getting in isn’t random; it’s about signals. Amazon weighs creator authority, content engagement, and alignment with shopper phases: awareness, consideration, conversion.
“The coveted spot is to be in the upper carousel. And the lower carousel is okay, too… But you really want to be the first one.” – Ileane Smith
Checklist for Carousel Success:
Verify brand eligibility (brand video uploaded to ASIN).
Format content for specific shopper intent.
Monitor your actual placements, don’t assume.
Refresh underperforming videos with tighter hooks.
Test thumbnails/titles when competing with similar content.
Why Regular Content Audits Are a Must in 2025
Even with AI tools and carousel wins, one harsh truth remains: up to 80% of the Amazon products earning you commissions today may disappear from your earnings report within a year.
“The earnings from 80% of the products you are getting commissions on this month will disappear from your earnings report by this time next year.” – Ileane Smith (quoting Claire)
Why?
Product Gaps: Brands discontinue or leave programs.
Content Saturation: Your video gets buried under fresh uploads.
Track ASIN depreciation: Spot products losing traction via Logie analytics.
Use AI to speed reviews: Prompts like “Which of my Amazon videos have lost earnings in the last 90 days?” save hours.
Identify evergreen winners: Double down on “golden goose” ASINs with steady demand.
Plan with data, not hunches: Trim deadweight content and prioritize proven performers.
Creators who audit quarterly treat their storefront like a business, securing sustainable commissions even as algorithms evolve.
