I want Amazon to build a personal digital assistant, and then integrate it into filters. Today I was searching for socks, I care about 3 things, the size, the color, and whether they go up to the ankle or not. It seems like information they probably have (or a well trained net could figure out), so it would be nice if it was offered as a filter.

A few weeks ago I was trying to find toys for my son. I was most interested in "things for a 6 month old". They did have that filter, but it was 0 - 24 months. At this age a few months make a HUGE difference. I wish the box was a bit more fine grained.

I wonder if Amazon leverages all of the human involvement in Mechanical Turk for any machine learning.

Wait for Alexa (the "entity" behind Echo) to evolve a bit further and integrate more of what Amazon knows about you.
