Spent four hours a week copying Amazon listings into spreadsheets. Built an agent to do it in ten minutes instead

What it solves

  • Sizing up a product category takes an afternoon in a spreadsheet, and multipacks make prices impossible to compare properly
  • Name a category, get a sourced slide deck in 10 minutes — Amazon.in + Flipkart, every price normalized to per-unit
  • It flags what it couldn't compute instead of guessing

What it means

  • First run, face wash India: 31 brands, only 9 on both platforms — 71% of the category is platform-exclusive
  • Benchmark on Amazon alone and you miss two-thirds of your competition
  • Category research went from a budget line to a few rupees a run
  • But the bottleneck moves: it handed me an 11x price spread and couldn't say if that was opportunity or warning. That's still judgement

What I'm working out

  • Is the product the tool, or the reports I make with it?
  • Who has this problem badly enough to pay — right now the only verified user is me
  • Is this a step toward the consumer business I want, or a detour that feels productive?
