划重点： 1、2025年的双11，我们清晰地看到两大变量：一是"大消费"战略下的淘宝，它以前所未有的力度整合多个消费场景，为淘宝带回亿级用户；另一个，则是 AI。 2、好用的AI是淘宝AI应用的检验标准。为此淘宝率先选择对平台开刀，启动一个过去十几年少有的大项目：利用AI重构商品库。全新的、被AI清洗过的20 亿商品库，成为搜推广这一核心引擎的坚实底座。 3、为了减轻商家大促负担，淘宝让AI从辅助工具升级为经营伙伴。围绕AI数据分析、AI营销、AI美工和AI客服四大核心场景，推出一整套成熟的解决方 案。 4、为了提升消费者的决策效率。淘宝将AI能力润物无声地融入用户既有购物动线中，集中推出六款AI导购应用，全面提升消费者的购物体验。 5、可以说，这是首个AI全面落地的天猫双11。在流量分发、消费者体验和商家经营三个核心领域，淘宝第一次将AI全面应用于交易的各个环节，掀起一场 效率革命。 作者 常远 编辑 重点君 将AI从聊天机器人形态深度整合进电商核心流程，正在演变成全球科技巨头共识。 在硅谷，亚马逊的Rufus和谷歌智慧结账助手竞相实现AI的自主下单能力，试图彻底接管复杂的购物决策与执行；Meta推出全自动 ...
