Here were my two experiences, one I felt would be easy and the other hard:

Title: Build recommendations. Message: "I'd like to upgrade some components. My current rig has an old i7 and an RTX 2060. Looking for something midrange that can handle modern games at high settings (but maybe not ultra)."

Matches: Nvidia (19%), IndianGaming (8%), GamingLaptops (8%), pcgamingtechsupport (6%)

Title: Travel advice. Message: "I'm returning to Ireland in July from the USA. My visa is up. I know I will have to self-quarantine for two weeks. I cannot move back to my family home due to elderly parents. Are there any recommendations for people in this sort of situation? I'm happy to pay for a hotel, but don't want to put a hotel worker at risk. We have an old house down in Wexford I could stay in, but would involve taking a train when I arrive, and the HSE guidance says not to take public transport. Any advice?"

Recommendations: LegalAdviceUK (8%), IWantOut (7%), AskUK (5%)

Overall I think this was pretty good, even if it wasn't perfect. I thought it would struggle more with the second one (maybe getting confused and suggesting vacation planning subreddits). A little controversial that it kept suggesting "UK" reddits for a question about Ireland though :)

Thanks so much for your detailed feedback. There is definitely something going on with the UK thing... Need to dig deeper!
Thanks for making it, super cool! Btw, if it wasn't clear, my "controversial" comment isn't to be taken seriously
