    I can’t find the bot on the site, looks like it’s on the app.

    They applied AI to the search requests. If you search for “Find me soemthing for fahters day.” It will figure out you meant Fathers Day and say “suggestions for fathers day”

    While an LLM on such a short leash will probably do fine with a fixed catalog, there’s still an outside chance it will go absolutely nuts and suggest weird, possibly inappropriate things. I really don’t know how weird or inappropriate targets catalog can be but I’m sure you could find something. They’re just trying to head people off at the pass by saying, “If you order it, you have to pay for it, even if we recommended something weird to you.”

    It looks like they’ve got some decent guardrails in. I tried to trick it out and ask it for a potato salad recipe. It gives me back old-school results instead of an AI smart response.

      This appears to be an upcoming “people bought similar” bot that will automatically add items to your cart based on trends.

      It will be up to the user to remove them at check out.
