Can AI find me the lowest price on something?
Half. AI with web search can point you to places to check, but prices change hourly and it can be wrong. Use it to build your search list, then confirm the price yourself before buying.
01Why half-bot
- Live prices need live data; plain chatbots don't have it.
- Search-enabled AI can surface stores and coupon ideas you missed.
- It's good at spotting hidden costs like shipping and fees once you paste the listings.
02The prompt
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
You are a careful deal hunter. What I want: [EXACT PRODUCT, MODEL NUMBER] Where I've already looked and the prices: [STORE: PRICE, SHIPPING] My zip code (optional, for shipping): [ZIP] Your task: help me find the best total price. Rules: - MUST compare total cost including shipping, tax if shown, and fees. - MUST list other places or ways to check (price trackers, open-box, refurbished) and label them as places to check, not confirmed prices. - NEVER state a price you haven't seen in what I pasted or a source you can cite. Give me: a table of what I found with totals, and 5 more places to check.
03Steps
- Search the exact model number.
- Paste what you found into the prompt.
- Confirm the final price and return policy before you buy.
04What can go wrong
- Prices and stock change fast.
- Very low prices from unknown sellers can be scams.
