What AI is Used for While Shopping or Researching Products According to US AI Users, Sep 2026

Methodology

Data is from the October 2026 Snipp report "AI and the Modern Shopper Journey." 1,000 U.S. adults who regularly use AI-powered tools or assistants for search and shopping were surveyed during September 2026. Respondents were users of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Perplexity at least a few times per month; those who rarely or never use AI for search and shopping were screened out to focus on regular AI users' behaviors and attitudes.
