I am one of our founders of this shopping app called Benjamin and I don't even try to say that I am super experienced with LLM/AI stuff. We've wrapped around this AI tool that helps you shop online (or at least should) so that you wouldn't have to wonder on every page when you are trying to find something useful. What you guys think, would this be any useful for release? We haven't announced this yet anywhere, but we have already created a small CTA to the end of the messages to potentially get some users for our app which is our main product.

And yes I know, the first comment will be ''I would have built this in 1 hour''. Rather than that all the feedback is well appreciated :D
That's still useful, it would send me in the right direction as I'm not familiar with fishing, those online stores (and I don't have a grandfather).
Firstly well done for building and shipping it. I know it takes a lot of effort.
Secondly I tried this the last time you posted, and I've just tried it again.
I asked a really specific question: "I want a pair of black wingtip shoes I can wear with an office suit that cost less than £120 and are available to buy from the UK". You've offered me FootAsylum (that's a sneaker store, no wingtips) and Robert Wayne - who return 0 results when I search for 'wingtip'.
If you compare that with Google - I can use that query, or just type 'black wingtips' and I can click 'shopping' or 'images' and see a whole lot of products and prices that match my query.
Additionally, if I click your "Give me three gift ideas..." question, you don't answer it in a way I'd expect if I asked a friend. You give me three shops and pretty much say "go look". If I was chatting to a friend, she might say "a bouquet might cost you X, I'd get roses from Y, I have a yoga mat from Z, they're really good, and what about this or that." It's far more specific - all you're really doing is suggesting places to shop.
Shopping is very visual and you're pushing words instead of images / product suggestions. If I ask for a 'less than £50 gift idea for my brother who likes guitars', I want to see 10 pictures with prices of things I could choose.
Finally, the cashback push (I appreciate it's your app) seems like a pretty hard sell - it makes the suggestions feel like an excuse to onboard for cashback (which I appreciate they are!) - maybe tone this down; perhaps put an ad beneath the box, rather than ending every conversation with the push for your app?
Anyway, good luck with it, hope some of that helps!
