Instacart brings AI-driven Caper Carts nationwide starting at Weis Markets
Technology
Instacart is bringing its new AI-driven Caper Carts to stores nationwide, starting with select Weis Markets in Pennsylvania.
These smart carts use cameras, weight sensors, and touchscreens to suggest products as you shop and offer instant e-coupons, making the whole grocery run a bit more interactive and personal.
Instacart carts recommend repeats, deployments triple
Backed by data from over 1.6 billion online orders, the Caper Carts can recommend items you've bought before with a handy Buy It Again feature and encourage shoppers to use rewards programs like Weis Rewards.
Instacart has tripled its number of Caper Carts deployments over previous years, while other big names like Kroger have explored their own smart-cart options.
