Eh....I got it to find a product that met the specs I was looking for on Amazon when no other search worked. It's certainly a last resort but it worked. Idk why whenever I'm looking to buy anything lately somehow the only criteria I care about are never documented properly...

It's useful to point you in the right direction, but anything beyond that necessitates more research

I mean, it gave me exactly what I asked for. The only further research was to actually read the item description to verify that but I could have blindly accepted it and received what I was looking for.

Out of curiosity, did it find a source for those specs that wasn't indexed well elsewhere?

Yea. It was reading the contents of the item description I think. In this instance I was looking for an item with specific dimensions and just searching those didn't work because Amazon sellers are ass at naming shit and it returned a load of crap. but when I put them in their AI thing it pulled several matches right away.
