About the Team The Community Feedback team owns experiences and systems that enable shoppers to seek out customer-generated content from other customers throughout the shopping journey (Customer Reviews and Q&A, and Moderation of customer-generated content). Our vision is to elevate and amplify the voice of the customer in the shopping experience, leveraging our engaged and often passionate customers to provide trusted opinions, recommendations, and inspiration to other shoppers, ultimately resulting in unregretted purchase decisions, and reinforcing the flywheel for Amazon. The organization materially impacts every retail marketplace, category, and selling partner.
More recently, in August 2023, Community Feedback has received overwhelming press coverage and S-Team visibility due to the launch of the "review highlights" feature, an AI-generated summary of text-based customer reviews (the first customer-facing experience on Amazon that uses generative AI).
