Our app Smart Continente, which has been tailored for the portuguese retailer Continente (Sonae) and allows customers to shop with the app or by using voice assistants, has been featured in several portuguese news outlets:
“Continente claims to be the first worldwide retailer to ensure full integration with two of the world’s leading voice assistants: Google Home and Amazon Alexa. All because the Smart Continente mobile application has undergone an update that makes it compatible with these systems.
To access this feature, simply connect the application to one of these devices – the one you have at home – and start adding products to the shopping list through voice commands. The only limitation is the language: both Google Home and Amazon Alexa only allow English.
Remember that Smart Continente is an app developed in partnership with the startup Shelf.AI that allows the creation of shopping carts with your voice. In addition, it uses artificial intelligence to memorize preferences, recommend products and personalized promotions as well.”

“Portuguese can now do their shopping at the speed of their voice. To do this, simply download the app Smart Continente, available for IOS and Android devices, which has just received an update capable of ensuring full integration with Google Home® and Amazon Alexa®, two personal voice assistants. This makes Continente the first retailer in the world to provide a shopping solution compatible with both systems.
To take advantage of this functionality, users simply need to connect the app to one of the devices – Google Home® or Amazon Alexa®-, and from there, add the desired products to the shopping list through simple voice commands. It is a quick, easy and convenient solution that allows the Portuguese to do their shopping in the comfort of the sofa, while they are stuck in traffic or doing domestic activities. Since the two devices only recognize English for now, voice commands have to be made in that language.
