Today’s release includes a number of revisions to our cell phone decision engine as well as new features aimed at better explaining our cell phone recommendations.
Changes to the cell phone decision engine
Reduced the number of questions in the cell phone decision engine from six to five.
Reworded questions on battery life and camera quality to improve clarity.
Revised the cell phone decision engine to improve recommendation quality.
New recommendation explanations
We’ve introduced a new recommendation explanation feature. After a user has answered two questions, we start adding inline context to each recommendation to help highlight how the recommendations match or diverge from their preferences and compare to one another.
As the user answers more questions, we add more inline explanations.
The explanations highlight both ways a recommendation is a good fit and also ways a recommendation may not exactly meet a user’s preferences.
Inline explanations will also highlight which recommendation has the best of a specific attribute of all three recs: for example, "best camera" or "lowest cost." We will also highlight if a recommendation doesn't meet a user's specific needs, but is still the best option available given their other preferences.
