## Key points

- Amazon is reportedly building a database of online products, including those it does not sell.
- Manufacturers including Coca-Cola and Bayer have reportedly been asked to contribute data.
- A 2027 date is described as aspirational; Amazon says the document may be outdated.

## Summary

Amazon is reportedly developing a database called the World Product Graph that would gather information on products sold online, including items Amazon does not sell. The project could keep shoppers within Amazon for product research and reviews, while strengthening its AI shopping assistant and potentially making Amazon’s data useful to rival shopping agents.

An internal document reviewed by Reuters says Amazon has asked Coca-Cola, Bayer and other manufacturers to provide product information. The document gives 1 October 2027 as an aspirational release date, but Reuters says it is unclear whether or when the database will launch. Amazon said the draft document was outdated and did not necessarily reflect its current plans.
