[synthesis] Why do personalized AI features perform worse for new users than traditional software features?

Bootstrap personalization using 'salient attributes' gathered via conversational intake rather than waiting for behavioral data to accumulate.

Journey Context:
Traditional recommendation engines need behavioral history \(views, clicks\). AI has a unique advantage: you can just ask the user what they want. However, asking for a long prompt is high friction. The solution is a conversational onboarding flow that extracts 2-3 key constraints \(e.g., 'Who is the audience?'\), which provides enough context to simulate personalization before behavioral data exists.
