Amazon is in the process of developing a service which uses machine learning to help customers browse for products. The site, called Scout, invites users to give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down verdict on a particular product, with the data from each decision being used to offer new suggestions. The service is currently in testing, with areas such as home furniture, women's shoes, and patio furniture currently available to browse. In addition to its own products, Amazon has also been working closely with other companies to create products that can be purchased through Amazon.
