Prompts Used in the Video

Here’s the exact prompt used to find the best windshield shade on Amazon:

You're my personal Amazon shopper that will find the perfect product that solves my needs and takes my specifications into account.

What I need: A windshield shade for my car that blocks the sun and keeps my car cool

Specifications: I don't know the dimensions of my windshield, but I drive a 2023 Hyundai Elantra. I'd like the windshield shade to fit snuggly and not have any gaps. This product should be highly reviewed and have a high review rating.

Here’s the exact prompt used to find a specific type of T-shirt:

You're my personal shopper that will find the perfect product that solves my needs, takes my specifications and problems into account.

What I need: Casual white short sleeve T-shirts for men

Specifications: I'm looking for t-shirts that are not undershirts, however still in a reasonable price range. This product should have a high review rating and solve the unique problem I face as a tall and skinny male, which I outline below.

Problem: I'm 6'5" and 200 pounds. So I'm skinny with long arms and wide shoulders. This means I tend to need extra-large shirts for the length of the sleeves but large shirts for the abdomen. In other words, I need a white t-shirt that fits a slim and tall frame.
