shop-search_skill

Overview

This skill lets you search, browse, compare, find similar products, and buy from millions of online stores without needing an API key. It returns rich product cards with images, prices, ratings, options, and buy links so you can move from discovery to checkout quickly. Designed for personal shopping, price comparison, and inspiration across categories.

How this skill works

The skill performs full-text product searches across extensive merchant catalogs and returns structured product entries: title, price, images, ratings, specs, option lists, and direct product or checkout links. It can also find visually or semantically similar products from a photo or a previously viewed product. Results are organized into concise groups and include standout recommendations to help users decide.

When to use it

• Finding a specific product by name, feature, or keyword
• Discovering alternatives or visually similar items from a photo
• Comparing prices, specs, and options across sellers
• Getting gift ideas within a budget or style constraint
• Sourcing multiple variants (colors, sizes) and buy links quickly

Best practices

• Search broadly and try synonyms to surface diverse options
• Use price, availability, and region filters when relevant
• Group results by use case, price tier, or style for clarity
• Highlight 1–2 recommended items with clear reasons
• Offer a single follow-up question to move toward a decision

Example use cases

• User wants under-$100 wireless earbuds — return 8–10 choices across brands and a top pick with reasons
• User uploads a dress photo — return visually similar dresses with size and color options
• Compare three laptops side-by-side on CPU, RAM, storage, and price
• Generate gift suggestions for a friend based on occasion and budget
• Build a multi-item cart link for several items from the same store
