Special occasions are stressful, gift shopping doesn't have to be. Outdone is using AI to transform the entire gift shopping experience β how shoppers find inspiration, receive recommendations, and discover great new brands.
Hey Hugh,
I tested it multiple times, but for some reason, I only get clothes I am not interested in. π
Then I went to talk with one the makers and became clear to me that this not AI or data driven.
They can't promise what they offer. So I am taking my upvote away.
Although, great video.
Adorable website; I like that you don't need an account to start shopping. β¨
My only recommendation is to make the site less USA and more global. π€
Nowadays, India and other European countries are as present as the USA community on Producthunt. π
A great question you could ask your team is, could we approach the international market, or are we better off in the USA segment?
Because I understand that you used USA people for the research.
Suppose you enhance the AI by letting it search for patterns in the top-selling products on Amazon, Indiegogo, and Kickstarter to identify product trends. You can go beyond brand partnerships and bank on associate accounts.
Also, you would have me as a client who likes to buy innovative products before they become mainstream.
Hi @jas801, thanks for trying Outdone out! Really glad to hear you see the value in what we're trying to provide shoppers β a new way to discover and shop new brands and products.
Certainly understandable that you feel our recommendations are a bit too clothing-heavy. In fact, the MVP of Outdone we launched last year (Dec 2021) only included clothing recommendations. We've since expanded our tool to include home goods, accessories, gear for sports/activities, subscription services, and much more! We're continually working to expand our recommendation categories to deliver the best gift recommendation service on the internet!
One new product feature on our roadmap is to allow users to select the type of gift they're interested in purchasing... which would help you with excluding clothing from your consideration set. Hopefully we can have that pushed live for you soon!
OMG I love how this helps people discover new brands. There's so much out there to find and it can be a slog to find it - kudos to y'all for making it easier!
So glad you think so, @taleesita! We've found some really awesome up and coming brands while building Outdone, and are super excited to share them with our users π
This is perfect for the upcoming holidays! I have a huge problem when it comes to picking out gifts so this looks like something that can really help me. @hugh_lagrotteria, @jonathan_nass congrats on a great product and on the launch!
@jonathan_nass and @hugh_lagrotteria, this is quite a story: "We launched our MVP on Product Hunt this time last year and were blown away by the engagement. Well, we took your feedback to heart and are now back and better than ever with Outdone V2! π
Here are just a few of our biggest V2 enhancements:
β> Increased our brand partnership list from 40 to 100+
β> Now recommending specific products (1300+), not just brands
β> Increased our primary data collection volume by 2x
β> Expanded into new gifting categories, including homeware, accessories, and subscription services"
Well done so far, and godspeed ahead! πππ
Interesting app. I've ran a few tests with people that I know in mind. The recommendations fit with what they usually want. Hope you add a wider integration of brands/shops in the future. In short. great app, good luck with the launch.
