What problem does it solve?
Helps users discover, compare, and choose better product alternatives by automating multi-source research, price-aware comparisons, and concise ranked recommendations so users avoid manual, time-consuming searches across retailers and review sites.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parallel research across retailers and review sites: opens hidden tabs, executes targeted queries, and extracts product details, prices, ratings, and links.
- Incremental raw data saving and deduplication: writes per-source JSON files to disk, groups identical products, and keeps the best price.
- Ranking and reporting: selects and rates the top five alternatives on a 1–5 scale, produces findings.md with reasoning, and generates a self-contained responsive HTML comparison report suitable for sharing.
- Use Case: researching cheaper or better alternatives to a product a user is viewing, providing a quick ranked shortlist with direct retailer links and a downloadable report.
