Could you build this?
Partial While the MCP server tools and search interface are easily vibe-coded, the platform relies on a large-scale, continuously synchronized multi-merchant product catalog with live inventory and pricing data.
What it would actually take: Building a real version requires an automated catalog ingestion pipeline syncing merchant feeds (Shopify API, WooCommerce, Google Shopping feeds, Amazon), an entity resolution system for deduplication, and an embedding-based hybrid search engine (e.g., PostgreSQL with pgvector or Typesense). The core hurdle is building reliable data connectors, merchant integrations, and high-throughput background sync workers to keep thousands of e-commerce catalogs synchronized with current inventory and pricing.
