[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Peloton is human powered. The community, the way that the instructor engages with that community, could, Kim, go on the leaderboard and find your people, however you define that. And not only that, layer on your goals into what's being served up to you. Interestingly, I was noticing that the algorithm initially, this is about 18 months ago, was serving people more of what they were already taking. It's like, if you love rock rides, you're going to get more rock rides. And I was like, but where's your strength training? Where's your mobility? Where is your recovery? And so this is where we had to start serving people more of what they need, rather than what they want.
AI Insights
Summary
Peloton’s value is rooted in its human-powered community, where instructors engage directly with members and users can find like-minded people through the leaderboard. The speaker explains that personalization should incorporate users’ goals, not just their existing preferences. After noticing the algorithm mostly recommended more of the same content—such as additional rock rides for rock-ride fans—Peloton shifted toward surfacing beneficial classes like strength, mobility, and recovery that users may need even if they are not actively seeking them.
