SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Online shopping research is time-consuming and unreliable — fake discounts, paid reviews, and SEO affiliate spam make it hard to know what to actually buy. This Skill structures product research, price validation, and gift selection into a repeatable workflow with trustworthy sources. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tiered Product Recommendations: Delivers budget, best-overall, and upgrade picks with comparison tables, direct purchase links, and review source links. - Deal & Price Validation: Verifies Amazon discounts against CamelCamelCamel and Keepa price history, and applies manual heuristics to detect fake review patterns. - Gift Idea Generation: Uses a four-mode gift framework (upgraded everyday, experience, consumable luxury, interest-deep-cut) with variety rules and occasion-based budget anchors. - Use Case: Ask "What's the best sunglasses under $150 for driving?" and receive three researched picks with a spec comparison table, buy links, price history links, and seasonal sale timing advice. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to recommend the best wireless headphones under $200 for commuting, including price history checks and purchase links.

Frequently Asked Questions about personal-shopper

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify if an Amazon deal is real?▼

Check the product's price history on CamelCamelCamel or Keepa by pasting the product URL or ASIN. If the sale price matches what it has been for most of the past year, it is not a real discount — genuine deals sit near the all-time low.

How do I find honest product reviews without affiliate spam?▼

Search "[product] reddit" or "[product] site:reddit.com" to surface real user opinions instead of SEO affiliate content. Adding "long term" or "after 1 year" reveals durability reports from actual owners.

What are good sources for product recommendations by category?▼

Wirecutter covers most consumer goods, rtings.com provides lab-measured data for TVs and headphones, OutdoorGearLab handles outdoor gear, and notebookcheck.net covers laptops. Enthusiast subreddit wikis work best for hobby gear.

How can I detect fake reviews on Amazon products?▼

Look for clusters of 5-star reviews posted within a few days, reviews mentioning "gift" without usage details, and ratings split only between 5 and 1 stars. Sorting by most recent reviews also reveals quality decline after a product becomes popular.

When is the best time to buy electronics or clothing?▼

Electronics drop during Black Friday, Prime Day, and back-to-school season, while clothing is cheapest at end-of-season clearances in January-February and July-August. If a major sale is 4-6 weeks away, waiting typically saves 20-30%.

What are the limitations of AI product research?▼

The research cannot see real-time stock or prices, so users must verify current pricing before buying. Paywalled sources like Consumer Reports are inaccessible directly, and no transactions can be completed on the user's behalf.
