[synthesis] AI personalization provides generic recommendations for new users, causing churn before the model learns

Use heuristic or rule-based warm-up logic for the first N sessions. Ask explicit preference questions before relying on algorithmic inference.

Journey Context:
Pure ML systems need data to be useful. Traditional software just applies a default setting. If an AI feature relies purely on implicit signals, the first few interactions are blind guesses. Explicitly asking for preferences or using rule-based fallbacks bridges the gap until ML has enough signal.
