As Southeast Asia’s highly anticipated shopping season arrives, Lazada Malaysia is thrilled to introduce AI Lazzie, an advanced AI-powered shopping assistant poised to redefine the online shopping experience. Launching just in time for Lazada’s 11.11 Biggest Sale of the Year, this innovative feature offers shoppers new ways to navigate, discover, and make informed purchase decisions across the platform. The debut of AI Lazzie reflects Lazada’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, personalised shopping journeys at unbeatable prices.
In a collaboration with Kantar, Lazada has published a comprehensive whitepaper titled “Artificial Intelligence Adoption in eCommerce in Southeast Asia,” offering insights into AI’s impact on online shopping across Southeast Asia. The study surveyed over 6,000 consumers from six Southeast Asian markets, including Malaysia, to evaluate awareness, trust, and shopping behaviors linked to AI on eCommerce platforms. Findings reveal that 88% of respondents rely on AI-generated recommendations when making purchase decisions, indicating high trust in AI tools to enhance their shopping experience. Furthermore, 52% of participants cited convenience as a top reason for integrating AI into their lives, while features like chatbots (47%), visual product searches (40%), and translation tools (40%) emerged as popular AI solutions meeting consumer needs.
AI Lazzie marks Lazada’s response to this demand for enhanced, personalised shopping experiences, providing users with tailored assistance around the clock. As the first-of-its-kind eCommerce AI chatbot powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, AI Lazzie offers contextual responses and product recommendations through Lazada’s Message+ feature, enabling consumers to quickly find products, access exclusive deals, and redeem discounts. This dynamic, conversational personal shopper promises a seamless, enjoyable shopping experience from discovery to checkout.
Four Dimensions of AI Lazzie: Discovery, Dependability, Deals, and Decision-Making
Designed to enhance four key dimensions of the shopping experience — Discovery, Dependability, Deals, and Decision-Making — AI Lazzie offers several innovative features to improve convenience, boost efficiency, and elevate user satisfaction:
- Smart Recommendations: Personalised product suggestions based on interactions, purchase history, and preferences, from budget picks to high-end options.

These features resonate with consumer demand, as evidenced by the study’s findings: 92% of AI users appreciate personalised recommendations, while *90% value AI’s ability to summarise product information. Nearly half of all respondents believe AI enhances product discovery, customer service, and overall enjoyment during online shopping.
