It'd be great to have an automated shopper that somehow correlates what you buy + like to what (you would buy + like) . In some regards this is what targeted advertising is supposed to do, but most of the time it's just showing me the things I've already bought. I was telling my boss the other day that I wished there was an AI that I could give a budget, say $100 a month, and it would automatically and incrementally purchase the items I do not have that I would be most likely to enjoy. Maybe it saves up for N months if it's more than my monthly budget etc... Could give manufacturer's a pipeline for stuff (eg, AI declares I'm going to buy item X at $Y in Z months, please make it) ...

There’s sites like this: 1. https://www.trunkclub.com/ https://www.trunkclub.com/ 2. https://www.stitchfix.com/ https://www.stitchfix.com/ I gave them both a try and had some success but wasn’t that into it, but they’re supposed to kinda build price/style profiles over time. I just decided I wanted more control / I wanted to research things to death (this article hit home).
