I found that ChatGPT or Claude are really good at music and shopping suggestions. Just chat with them about your tastes for a while, then ask for suggestions. Compared to old recommender systems this method allows much better user guidance.

Yeah, Claude helped me decide what to get my girlfriend for her birthday a few weeks ago. It suggested some great gift ideas I hadn’t thought of - and my girlfriend loved them.
I think we can expect this to be rapidly monetized.
For shopping suggestions, I've had the best experience with Perplexity.
