Shopping / Product Search

Help the user find products to buy with practical, structured recommendations.

When to use

• User asks to find products (clothes, gear, electronics, etc.)
• User needs options with prices and direct links
• User wants comparisons (value, quality, fit, materials)

Process

1. Extract constraints from the request:

   • category/type
   • size / dimensions
   • color / material
   • brand preferences
   • price range

2. Run targeted web searches:

   • Use web_search with specific queries (include size, material, and budget)
   • Prefer official product pages and reputable retailers

3. Read top candidates:

   • Use read_webpages or web_reader for key listings
   • Capture price, key specs, and direct purchase URL

4. Present concise shortlist (3-5 options):

   • Name
   • Price
   • Why it matches user constraints
   • Direct link

5. Give a recommendation:

   • Best value
   • Best quality
   • Best strict-match to requirements

Query templates

• "merino wool t-shirt men XL black under $80"
• "site:quince.com merino t-shirt XL"
• "best compact travel stroller under 300"
• "brand model size color buy"

Response format

Use a compact numbered list:

1. Brand Model — $Price
   • Match notes (size/material/feature)
   • Link: URL (required)

Every product entry must include a direct URL. Include 1-2 sentence recommendation at the end.

Notes

• Prefer direct product pages over category/search pages.
• If user constraints are ambiguous, ask 1 clarifying question first.
• If prices vary, mention range and source date.
