Could you build this?
Partial While the Chrome extension UI and DOM product-ID scraper are straightforward, aggregating real-time price comparisons across external retailers requires access to expensive commercial price feeds or an extensive web-scraping back end.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a Manifest V3 browser extension to identify product identifiers (UPCs, ASINs, model numbers) from product pages and a backend matching engine. The difficult component is maintaining an extensive, low-latency product catalog database across thousands of e-commerce sites via affiliate APIs (Amazon Product Advertising API, Google Shopping API) or real-time scraping clusters. Ensuring accurate SKU mapping and pricing updates at scale requires significant data pipeline infrastructure.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
