Chat & AI

Getting product recommendations in chat

Ask what to buy and get real, current listings from the web, like a friend's shortlist rather than a search page.

Step 1

Ask what to buy

Ask the way you would ask a friend: "what is a good mountain bike for a beginner under 2000". There is no shopping page; it works from the normal chat.

Step 2

A quick question first, maybe

If the request is vague the AI may ask one thing first, such as your budget or main use, with chips for the likely answers. Press one and it is sent as your reply. See Answering a quick-reply prompt.

Step 3

Real listings as cards

Each result is a real listing from a real retailer: a photo, the title, price and rating, a badge such as Best Overall or Best Value in the corner, and a line on why it made the list.

For a first bike under $2,000 the Trail Ranger is the safest pick: comfortable, light and easy to service. The Ridgeline saves money if you expect to upgrade parts, and the Summit Flow suits riders who climb more than they descend.

Prices and availability are pulled from live search results and may not always be current, check the retailer's page before buying.

Step 5

Press a card to go there

Product cards have no Save or Download. Pressing one opens the retailer's page, shown at the bottom of the card, in a new tab.
