@hamzeh.majiet: 🚨 PICK N PAY LAUNCHES AI COMPANION Pick n Pay has officially launched “Penny” — an AI-powered shopping assistant built into its asap! app, and it’s not just another feature… it’s a complete shift in how consumers buy. Instead of scrolling through endless products, you can now simply *chat* your grocery list. You can: • Send a voice note like “quick school lunches for the week” • Upload a photo of a handwritten shopping list • Type something vague like “easy dinners under R500” And Penny converts that into a complete, shoppable basket — with quantities, brands, and logical add-ons. But it goes further. It can: • Suggest full recipes based on your budget • Recommend swaps if items are out of stock • Add forgotten essentials (think sides, sauces, drinks) • Adjust your basket in real time as you refine requests • Help you stay within a target spend Voice notes, text, even photos of handwritten lists — Penny turns it all into a full basket in seconds. Powered by Google’s Google Gemini, this is real conversational commerce — where the app doesn’t just respond… it thinks, suggests, and builds your shop for you. This is Pick n Pay’s move to compete with Checkers Sixty60 — but more importantly, it’s a signal of where global retail is heading. #PicknPay #AI #Checkers #Sixty60 #Retail #food #southafrica
