Thank you.

“It’s a ‘shopping assistant’ that helps you find the things you want to buy, make decisions and comparisons among the available items, answers questions, etc.”
Actually i could use that times. However now i am cautious about clicking it because i dont want it bugging me all the time.
Have you used it on your desktop and does it leave you alone unless clicked?
I was hoping...
It’s an icon at the top, where you see links like ‘Holiday Gifts’, ‘Grocery’, etc;. It’s also right under the product image saying something like, ‘Ask Rufus a Question’. I guess it scans the product description and all the reviews of the item for information relative to what you ask. I haven’t used it for anything more complicated than just questions about an individual item, like ‘Does this run small?’ or ‘Are batteries included?’
It’s never bothered me. I think the problem of the original poster may be to do with the app on a cellphone.
LOLOL.
As soon as I open Amazon - RUFUS opens itself.
I’M not enabling or clicking on anything.
Are you using the Amazon app on a cellphone?
Yeah that makes sense. Thanks
The create a bootable drive Rufus ?
Amazon has AI called RUFUS , never knew ,LOL
“Descendants of Clippy.”
Good one.
so never ever click on Rufus

It pops up without being prompted on the desktop (amazon.com). It bothers me.
What do you mean it ‘pops up’?
It’s always there, simply as a feature that you can choose to use or not. But it’s not doing anything unless you engage it. :-)

I mean that it opens on its own, in a panel on the left side of the screen. It does so without doing anything to engage it. It started doing that a couple of days ago.
Well, I’ve never seen that happen so I’m afraid I can’t help.
Lol - I didn’t think you could help. I was just replying to your question/statement.
I have a horse named Rufus. If he’s giving you trouble, let me know.
Not long after posting I went to Amazon for something. All of a sudden Rufus appeared. I think AI is going to be the death of us. :)
