Show HN: Product recommendations powered by human experts and ML, fast and easy
perfectrec.comHey HN!
Joe here, I’m a second time founder based in Seattle. I wanted to share a new site I’ve been building called PerfectRec. We use a combination of human expertise and ML to generate personalized electronics recommendations based on user answers to straightforward questions.
Google is getting worse for product discovery. Amazon is full of fake reviews. And many of the review sites I used to trust seem to be going downhill.
As the go to “gadget guy” in my family, I wanted to build a site I could point people to that would give them high quality product recommendations without requiring expert knowledge or knowing how to navigate Reddit. Instead of it taking hours to research a complex purchase, PerfectRec takes just minutes.
How it works: We find the most passionate product experts on the internet and have them work with our ML team to design, label and train a recommendation model.
Right now, we cover phones, TVs, laptops and earbuds in the US market, though we are planning to expand to cover more products.
I’d love to hear what you think, since the site is meant for highly tech savvy people too. Would you recommend it to a friend or family member? What would you like to see us add or improve?
Thanks!
Joe
