How it works
- 1Collect
Every two weeks a job visits the shops listed below (respecting their robots.txt and with pauses between pages) and reads their category pages.
- 2Understand
Claude, Anthropic's AI model, reads each page and pulls out the products: name, brand, model, price, crossed-out price, link and picture. Links are checked against the page so nothing is invented.
- 3Compare
Listings are matched only when brand, model number and variant agree (storage, screen size, BTU, kg, litres, processor, pack size). A 128GB phone is never compared with a 256GB one. The reference price is the median of the other shops' prices. For land, it's the median price per m² of other plots in the same area.
- 4Check
Every price shows when we last read it on the shop's site. Listings with a suspicious price, duplicates and dead shop links are hidden automatically.
- 5Estimate
When a product is sold in only one place, Claude estimates a fair Mauritian price and says how confident it is. Estimates are always labelled "AI est." with a dashed badge, never shown as a verified saving. Low-confidence guesses are not used.
- 6Rank
Items are ranked by how far below the reference price they are, weighted by how solid the evidence is: other shops' prices (100%), a price drop we recorded ourselves (90%), the shop's crossed-out price (70%), an AI estimate (50%). Prices not re-checked for 30 days count half.
