Last year Amazon has launched a pure artificial intelligence based grocery store named Amazon Go. Now there is no need for cashiers and checkouts at the store. They are using special technologies to confirm your purchase. Amazon calls this group of tools it’s Just Walk Out Technology, and it includes technologies such as “computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning,” according to its website.

No Lines. No Checkout. (No, Seriously.)

How Amazon Go Works?

The working of Amazon Go is based on automation and artificial intelligence. The users simply visit the store, shop for the items they need and leave the store. Just Walk Out Technology detects which items you have picked and the amount of that item gets deducted from your Amazon account automatically after leaving the store.

Let’s watch this video to have the better understanding of how Amazon Go works.

How big is the store?

Our roughly 1,800 square feet of retail space is conveniently compact so busy customers can get in and out fast. In addition to regular grocery items, the store also carries ready-to-eat meals and snacks and newly-introduced Amazon Meal Kits, the website said, which includes everything you need to make a meal at home.

What do I need to get started?

All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app. Yes you heard it right only you need to get started with Amazon Go is to just install the App.

No Lines. No Checkout. (No, Seriously.)

What Items can You buy?

At this grocery store, you will get delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries.

Where is Amazon Go located?

Our store is located at 2131 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street.
