AfterglowDemo store · 384 records, films, books, games and showsBag

A culture shop (records, books, films, games, shows) run by two Claude agents on Qloo

Your shop sees what sold. Afterglow sees what walked out.

Claude doesn't know what's missing from your shelf. Qloo does. A shopper says who the gift is for, and the assistant picks five titles from the shelves. Every title it could not find goes on the owner's restock list, so the shop finally learns what walked out. We ran it on two real record stores first.

Shop by taste

Nine sections, grouped by who loves the titles (Qloo), not by format. Records sit next to the films and books their fans also love.

The whole store, placed by who loves it

Every cover sits next to the titles its fans also love, from Qloo taste data. Ask above, and the titles that taste loves step forward and glow. Browse by section →

How it works

  1. Find the tastes

    Claude turns the shopper's words into names Qloo knows (Qloo search). A genre or a mood becomes two or three works that stand for it.

  2. Score the shelves

    One Qloo insights call scores all 384 titles for that taste, with the recipient's age and gender as signals, and says which taste drove each match.

  3. Check the store

    Qloo lists the ten titles this taste loves most anywhere. The agent counts what the shop carries. Claude alone cannot know this.

  4. Pick five

    Claude picks five across formats, within budget and age. Each pick carries a Qloo fact; a reason Qloo's tags don't support is rewritten from data.

  5. Tell the owner

    Every title the shop didn't have joins the owner's restock list, with a record to order and a shelf on the store map.
