    You need to filter out unavailable and obsolete products.

    My prompt (in Fast mode, as a guest):

    """ I need to take a trip to Turkey for a week. I would like to take a camera with me, but my Nikon Coolpix P1100 is too heavy for that (1.5 kg). I do need some zoom, let's say up to 250 mm but the exact maximum focal length is negotiable. """

    The model seemingly failed to realize that the request is about a high-zoom compact camera. Only one of three different suggestions featured a compact camera, "Canon - PowerShot ELPH 360 HS - A Full HD Video 20.2-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black", on BestBuy (https://www.bestbuy.com/product/p/J7C86SHZLX), and it's unavailable there. So, zero success, but the 10-year-old camera suggested does fit the bill if still available from elsewhere.

      This is great. thanks for taking your time to try such an ellaborate prompt. Interestingly the recommended bestbuy link is available in my location (California). Fastmode doesn't look at your location unless you are signed in.

      Wondering if time permits, can you try completing your profile and try deep mode? Or i can give a try as well if you share your city or country and share you the cart link to validate. Thanks!

        "Cebu, Philippines" would be a good-enough approximation.

    Tried it for a birthday party setup and got a reasonable list of things I hadn't thought about. Saved me the usual back-and-forth between Pinterest, Google & Amazon.The tier breakdown is actually useful, most of the time I just want the middle option and it's right there.

    The Deep mode worked better for me. it asked follow up questions before building the cart and the results were more personalized than quick mode.

      Appreciate your time in testing our product. Glad it worked better in deep mode. Will note that feedback. Can you confirm if the fast mode was used after completing your profile?

      Generally if the profile is complete and if you signed-in for the fast mode, the results should be reasonably good if you are searching for any family members like "birthday party for my daughter", "beach trip with my kids" etc. Since deep mode gets more context we expect it be far superior in terms of result quality.

      Feel free to try more queries.

      Use support@whattobuy.app for any direct feedback or post it here. Thanks again!

    Nice overall!

    It would be good if we it can take my location into consideration.. So it suggests items available in the closest place nearby.

      Thanks for the feedback. Seems like a bug, if the profile includes the location, it should be used. Let me look into it.

    I would like to know why those combination is recommended, tbh.

      Great thought. We initially thought about adding an interpretability view to show users on why they got each products. Will consider adding that.
