Why it matters
The title offers merchants a useful checklist for assessing shopping assistants: whether they adapt to shopper needs, support actions, combine information, and ground recommendations in evidence.
Those dimensions could matter beyond answer quality. An assistant that helps a shopper move from discovery to a product decision may affect how merchants structure catalog data, policies, availability information, and supporting content.
