Recommendations
Recsys-ish
Overview
Recsys-ish is a proof of concept for chat-based product recommendations.
The idea: instead of filtering or sorting, you describe what you actually care about (price, use, lifestyle, etc.), the model does the comparison legwork, and it returns a shortlist with reasoning attached in an easily digestible UI.
I'm building it as much to explore how AI/ML recommendations work as to answer the question: can we do product recommendations and product comparison better?
Looking forward to getting the answer—and/or learning a lot trying.
