Abstract
A system includes a processor that is configured to collect data for training on user attribute information and electronic commerce transaction history information, provide an interface through which a user inputs the user's own attribute information and purchase history, and generate a prompt for instructing a generative artificial intelligence model to predict a preference of the user.
