Lingguang connects to what is worth buying, and the AI ​​assistant starts to help users "keep an eye on the price"

从商品推荐到价格追踪，个人AI助理进一步深入日常消费场景。 11月10日消息，蚂蚁集团旗下个人AI助理灵光接入消费内容平台「什么值得买」，将商品信息、消费决策支持等服务进一步纳入灵光。 此次接入是灵光持续扩展开放服务生态的又一动作。此前，灵光已陆续接入支付宝、钉钉、飞书、米家、微信读书、哈啰打车等40个连接器服务，能力覆盖工作、出行、家庭管理和日常生活等多个场景。 「什么值得买」长期积累了商品信息、消费内容和优惠信息等资源。对于灵光而言，接入专业消费信息服务，有助于提升AI在具体消费场景中的信息获取和服务能力；对于什么值得买而言，个人AI助理也提供了一个新的用户需求入口。此次连接「什么值得买」后，灵光将更加精准的实现持续关注商品价格变化，管理好用户“买什么、什么时候买更划算”这类日常事务。 对于消费者而言，购物的一大难题并不是下单，而是如何在海量商品、复杂促销和不断变化的价格中作出判断。以购买一台扫地机器人为例： 过去，用户通常需要在多个平台之间比较型号、配置、价格和促销活动。如果暂时不买，还需要反复查看商品是否降价、优惠如何叠加，费时费力。 现在，用户在灵光App输入“双11准备买一个扫地机器人，帮我看看哪款扫地机器人更值得买？”借助与什么值得买的服务连接，灵光会自主完成扫地机器人的优劣对比和好价监控，若用户暂时不买，灵光则会持续监控扫地机器人的价格优惠，并及时推送给用户。 这种
