Amazon gives sellers an even smarter Seller Assistant and a new plugin for Amazon Quick and Anthropic’s Claude - About Amazon
Amazon upgraded its AI-powered Seller Assistant and launched a new plugin connecting it to Amazon Quick and Anthropic's Claude, giving sellers direct AI access within Seller Central workflows as of September 23, 2026.
Amazon embedding Anthropic's Claude directly into seller workflows accelerates AI disruption of manual catalog management — sellers not using AI tooling will fall behind on listing quality and search relevance at an increasing rate.
Sellers who adopt the Claude plugin early will compress research and listing optimization cycles significantly — the real risk is competitors using AI-assisted workflows to iterate faster on pricing and copy. Test the Seller Assistant on your lowest-converting ASINs first to benchmark time savings.
