According to Retail Dive, visual recognition can help solve a problem such as removing a stain or replicate a coveted look. Sparky can also turn lists, including handwritten ones, into carts. The features, announced on October 30, are available to US customers, with Spanish and French support arriving as Sparky expands to Mexico and Canada. Target, Amazon and Best Buy have also updated their assistants.
