Could you build this?
Partial The user interface and AI shopping list parsing are easy to build, but aggregating and updating weekly item prices across millions of local grocery store inventories requires massive, ongoing data scraping.
What it would actually take: The backend requires a distributed fleet of residential proxies and headless scrapers, or direct ingest partnerships with circular distributors like Flipp to collect weekly regional circulars and store pricing APIs across multiple zip codes. It also needs sophisticated entity resolution (combining fuzzy matching and vector embeddings) to map different retailer product descriptions, units, and pack sizes to identical canonical products. This demands substantial data engineering resources and ongoing scraper maintenance against anti-scraping protections.
