Description
Visual Price Finder: take a photo of any product and PriceLens identifies it, then compares real store prices — cheapest first. No barcode, no typing, no manual searching. What makes it different: it works on almost anything (electronics, fashion, watches, groceries), not just items with barcodes or exact matches. Prices are pulled live at search time, not cached estimates. No ads, no subscriptions — just pay per search.

Could you build this?
Partial Visual search can be initiated with multimodal LLMs, but accurately matching arbitrary products across live e-commerce inventories at scale requires robust web scraping and product entity resolution.
What it would actually take: Requires an image feature extraction pipeline (CLIP or multimodal vision embeddings) coupled with vector search against a scraped database of millions of e-commerce products, or continuous programmatic search via Google Lens/SerpApi. The hard parts are high-scale web scraping against anti-bot systems (Cloudflare, Akamai) and resolving identical product variants (SKUs, colors, sizes) accurately across diverse merchant formats.
