Swiggy Instamart’s “Shop What You Watch” Content-Commerce Innovation

 “Swiggy Instamart Shop What You Watch”

 Swiggy Instamart has introduced the innovative “Shop What You Watch” content-commerce feature in 2024, redefining quick commerce grocery shopping by letting users create shopping carts effortlessly using traditional and tech-enabled methods inspired by Indian shopping habits. Digilogy recognizes this innovation as a benchmark in combining AI and user-centric design for e-commerce.

How the “Shop What You Watch” Feature Works
Customers can build their shopping lists using three intuitive options:

• Say It: Speak their grocery list aloud; the app transcribes and adds items to the cart instantly. Digilogy notes this leverages AI-driven shopping experiences to enhance convenience.
  
  
• Write It: Paste or type lists from WhatsApp chats, notes, or other text sources directly into the app.
  
  
• Scan It: Upload pictures of handwritten lists, which the app converts into a searchable and actionable format, showcasing interactive e-commerce trends.
  
  

This feature mimics the traditional practice familiar to Indian consumers of handing a shopping list to a shopkeeper, making digital grocery shopping smoother and faster by removing the need to search and add items individually.

Background and Reception

 The idea originated from a viral user suggestion on X (formerly Twitter) highlighting the difficulty shoppers face when manually adding individual items on quick commerce platforms. Swiggy Instamart acted swiftly, developing this industry-first feature, currently in a pilot phase, with plans to scale up gradually.

The feature has garnered significant consumer interest for its convenience, particularly among busy families and multitasking users, which is likely to boost engagement and loyalty in quick commerce. Digilogy identifies this as a key example of personalized in-app shopping influencing user satisfaction.
