Tips to Refine Ace's Product Recommendations
When interacting with Ace for product recommendations, you may be asked additional questions with options to choose from
Select an option and the product search result will appear to the right of the chat window
If the chat window is expanded, click on the icon at the top-right corner to move it to the left of the screen, so you can see the search results
Tip: The results will update as you engage with Ace. For example, when searching for "insulated windows", Ace may ask you for additional criteria (such as what climate considerations are important). Select an option and the results update to show insulated windows that match the chosen climate considerations. The search results will continue to be updated as you add requirements.
Use the filters displayed at the top of the search results to narrow it down. As you continue to interact with Ace, the results will take into account the filters you selected.
For example, in your search for insulated windows you select a specific manufacturer. When you ask Ace to include only impact-rated window, it will show results for impact-rated windows from the chosen manufacturer only.
