Summary

A user compares ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Wizard AI for shopping recommendations, noting differences in brand diversity and purchasing integration.

I’ve been looking into the use case of using AI to complete shopping tasks for me. Since I’ve started my search I’m surprised there aren’t more options out there for what seems like a pretty practical use case. I ran the same search for a blender on Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Wizard AI. Here’s what I found: There was overlap in all of the product recommendations however ChatGPT recommended one brand (ninja) for all 5 recs. Wizard and Perplexity recomended this brand as well, but had other options mixed in with their top 5. Out of all 3 Wizard was the only one that didn’t link out to another site to purchase you bought it via their website. This surprised me as I would think Perplexity or ChatGPT would have these capabilites/partnerships way before a lesser known tool. For my AI experts I’m curious which tool is the most trustworthy for recommendations? I was slightly off-put by ChatGPT only choosing one brand - is this influenced by ad-spend? Is anyone using these tools actively for shopping/product research or is there any other tools worth testing?
