Affiliate sites based on artificial intelligence

I have just come to an interesting related site called SalesClark, a virtual shopping assistant that communicates in plain English with online shoppers to choose a laptop or desktop computer.

While I enjoy the process of customizing my Dell computers, I can not understand how these options could be a little too much for someone who doesn't understand the technical specifications.

I tried that, and it was a SalesClark quick and easy experience resulted in a choice of three laptops that fit my requirements.

SalesClark

SalesClark currently an affiliate amazon.com, buy.com, Fujitsu, J & R, MacMall, Tech Depot, thenerds.net, TigerDirect, and Velocity Micro and they have plans to add other programs relevant affiliate of the mix before the Christmas rush.

It is nice to see the unique take on calling in a site with affiliate links, like so many sites that are based on the product data feeds make no attempt to differentiate themselves.
