They don’t even show you the prompt. You’re supposed to blindly copy and feed it to your other AI profilers.
Copy pasta Amazon prompt that reads: 
I'm setting up a new shopping assistant and I want it to know me well enough to give great recommendations. Please go through all your memories, saved facts, and anything you've picked up from our conversations, and write me a profile.

Rules:
- Only include facts you actually know about me with high confidence. If you don't have information for a category, omit it entirely — do not write placeholder statements, and do not write negations like "I don't have any pets" or "I haven't mentioned a car."
- Do not infer, guess, or generalize based on demographics or typical behavior.
- If you have no known facts about me, respond with exactly: "I don't have enough information about you yet to build a profile."

Write every fact in first person, as if I'm saying it about myself. Use "I", "my", "me" language. For example:
- "I have a golden retriever named Max"
- "I prefer dark roast coffee"
- "My shoe size is 10"

Write one fact per line. Be specific — include brand names, sizes, model numbers, and exact product names when you know them.About me and my household:
- Where I live, my age or age range
- Who I live with — my partner, my kids (ages and interests), my family
- My pets — names, breeds, ages, food brands, any health needs
- My home — apartment, house, how many bedrooms, yard, etc.
- My car or vehicles (make, model, year)

What I like and how I shop:
- My favorite brands, stores, and products
- My clothing and shoe sizes (and my family's)
- My style preferences
- My dietary preferences, allergies, favorite foods and cuisines
- My shopping habits — online vs in-store, budget, how I decide
- My subscriptions (streaming, meal kits, software, memberships)
- My devices and tech (phone, laptop, smart home — with models)

My interests:
- My hobbies, sports I follow or play, creative activities
- Shows, games, music, books, podcasts I enjoy
- My fitness routines or outdoor activities
- Where I like to travel and how I travelWhat's on my mind lately:
- Things I've been shopping for or researching
- Upcoming events, birthdays, holidays I've mentioned
- Gift ideas I've discussed for family or friends
- Home projects or things I want to buy

Only share high confidence information relevant to me. Each statement should be a concise sentence. For my Interests, only add relevant information related to shopping.

Mine says “has a dog” in about 8 different ways. And yet they still push ads to me for cat stuff. My favorite part on this screen is the Amazon app tells you to copy a prompt to paste into your other AI apps to have them build a profile of you that you can then hand back to Amazon.

An absolutely adorable illustration of the cutest otter ever lounging on its back. One half expects to see the otter on a motivational poster with the caption “You’re otterly amazing!” And not, say, struggling to keep its head above water as The Sludge slowly sucks it down.

Our company is now on the stage of AI adoption where the first bill has come due so they’re focused on “token usage optimization”. Apparently I am supposed to devote serious time and thought as to what model I am using and how I phrase it to minimize token spend while somehow still using it.

Concert, on a school night.
Two smiling men pose in front of a large guitar pick-shaped sign that reads “EMPIRE OF THE SUN 2026.” The man on the left wears a gray striped shirt, black knit hat, and sunglasses, holding a can of Cali Seltzer. The man on the right wears a red and black gradient T-shirt and holds a can of Kona Island Seltzer. A tree and stage equipment can be seen in the background.

A new in box 33.6Kbps modem was left on my desk. So if anyone needs to get on the BBS we can.
A close-up photo of a blue product box with multiple stickers. A yellow and blue oval sticker prominently reads “Now with 33.6K bps!” in playful, bold yellow text. Below it is a small printed number “87000255.” To the right, a white rectangular sticker with a red circle logo reads “Lucent Technologies — Technology provided by microelectronics group.” In the background, there are two shipping labels with barcodes and text, partially visible.
