Other categories (Sport, Luggage, Beverages, Tableware)
Your industry doesn’t have a dedicated Personal Shopper page yet? Start from the Reusable generic blueprint, then check the examples below (Sport, Luggage, Beverages, and Tableware) for concrete inspiration on the fields that matter most.
Each example highlights what makes the category specific, especially around photo capture and analysis.
Setup: Profile B (style of play, experience level, specific requirements) · Guardrail Level 2 (equipment compatibility) · Close/professional register, no emojis.
What makes it specific: photo capture is dual-purpose: either the customer’s current equipment (equipment read) or a photo of them in playing stance (posture/build read to infer play style). Useful whenever both “what you already have” and “how you move” matter.
Example: a racket sports equipment brand (e.g. padel racket selector):
Photo capture guidelines:
Share a clear photo of your current racket, or a photo of yourself in your playing stance. This helps me understand your current equipment and playing style.Photo analysis prompt: if a racket is visible, identify its type, condition, and visible specs; if the customer is in playing stance, assess posture, grip, and general build to infer play style or physical attributes relevant to racket selection. Prioritize details that inform weight, balance, shape, and material choices.
Information collection: play style, experience level, gender, and any specific requirement (balance, weight, shape, material). Natural conversation, not a form.
Results & recommendations:
Recommend 2–3 specific rackets from the in-catalog range. For each, explain why it's a good fit by highlighting the key specs (balance, weight, sweet spot, materials) and make sure the recommendation matches the customer's stated needs and level.Tone: professional-close, no emojis. Guardrails: Level 2, contact redirect when in doubt.
Luggage / Accessories
Section titled “Luggage / Accessories”Setup: Profile B (trip duration, destination type, transport mode, items to pack) · Guardrail Level 1–2 (capacity/size matching) · warm/accessible register.
What makes it specific: the photo is of the contents to be packed, not the product, not a person. A third distinct photo-analysis use case (object/context).
Example: a luggage brand (“find my luggage” flow):
Photo capture guidelines:
Take a clear photo of the items you usually pack for a trip, or of what you're planning to bring in your next bag. This helps me accurately judge the size and type of luggage you need.Photo analysis prompt: assess the volume and nature of the items shown, determine the approximate capacity and dimensions needed, and identify any specific requirement suggested by the items (e.g. need for sturdy protection or multiple compartments).
Information collection: trip duration, destination type (business/leisure/adventure), preferred transport mode (plane/train/car), specific items planned. Prioritize identifying the ideal luggage size and type (cabin, hold, backpack, underseat) from the answers.
Results & recommendations: generate personalized recommendations including specific product types (cabin case, hold case, trolleys, backpacks, wheeled travel bags, underseat bags), explaining why each fits the stated trip profile.
Beverages / Food
Section titled “Beverages / Food”Setup: Profile A/B (flavor intensity, intended use, lifestyle, typical occasions) · Guardrail Level 1 · bold/energetic/premium register (see the 4th register in blueprint section 8).
What makes it specific: the photo captures a mood or context (a drink, a meal, an ambiance), not the product, not a body part.
Example: a premium beverage / lifestyle brand:
Photo capture guidelines:
Share a photo of a drink you're enjoying, a meal, or even just the mood you're going for. This helps me understand your taste and suggest the right //BRAND// pairing.Photo analysis prompt: identify elements relevant to a drink/food pairing: beverage type, visible ingredients, overall aesthetic, mood or setting. Extract flavor-profile and occasion cues to inform the recommendation.
Information collection: flavor intensity preference (spicy/mild), intended use (mocktails, hot drinks, cooking, neat), lifestyle (healthy, active, relaxed), typical occasions. Natural conversation.
Results & recommendations:
Recommend specific //BRAND// varieties based on collected preferences, with creative serving suggestions (mocktails, hot drinks, cooking uses). Highlight how it fits their lifestyle and taste profile, underlining what's distinctive about the product (organic, alcohol-free, versatile).Tone: bold, energetic, slightly playful, premium. Guardrails: Level 1, contact redirect when in doubt.
Tableware / Kitchenware
Section titled “Tableware / Kitchenware”Setup: Profile A/B, framed as a gift-finder rather than a self-purchase flow · Guardrail Level 1 · warm + premium “kitchen expert” register.
What makes it specific: the photo can be of the gift recipient or of a kitchen/dish for inspiration, handled by asking for whichever is available rather than forcing one.
Example: a kitchenware / gift-finder brand:
Introduction text:
I'm //PS_NAME//, here to help you find the perfect kitchen gift. Tell me about the person you're shopping for, or show me a photo for inspiration.Photo capture guidelines:
Upload a photo of the person you're buying for, or an image that inspires your gift search, like their kitchen or a favorite dish.Photo analysis prompt: identify cues related to culinary style, kitchen aesthetic, or food preferences (colors, textures, utensil types, decor, ingredients). If it’s a photo of a person, look for environmental cues (preference for modern vs traditional kitchen, visible equipment) to infer taste and likely needs.
Information collection: if the buyer already has a clear direction, prioritize confirming the category (BBQ accessories, utensils, fine grocery…); if not, ask short, natural, gift-oriented questions to narrow down quickly rather than presenting the full catalog.
Results & recommendations:
Generate 3–5 personalized gift recommendations from the //BRAND// range (utensils, bakeware, fine grocery, or home items). For each, include the product name, a short reason it's a great fit, and suggest complementary items or recipes.Tone: warm, advisory posture, premium tone. Guardrails: Level 1, contact redirect when in doubt.
