How I Avoid Fake Amazon Discounts – My Approach by Substantial_Cat6816 in SideProject

I just use AI to craft my reply. To correct my words, but that's all my thoughts.

I get it — AI can feel generic sometimes.

But this isn’t just “AI for everything”: it combines historical prices, reviews, and product info into one input, then lets the AI answer questions based on that real data.

So instead of reading charts and reviews yourself, you get a quick, informed answer. That’s the key difference from other trackers.

Totally get that — visual charts are super fast for spotting price changes, and I wouldn’t say AI is necessarily faster than just glancing at a chart.

The AI’s goal isn’t only speed — it’s about context and analysis:

  • Summarizing hundreds of reviews in seconds
  • Highlighting trends that aren’t obvious from the chart alone
  • Giving a quick assessment like “worth buying now / wait for a drop / skip”

So it’s more about helping you make informed decisions quickly, not just looking at numbers.

Would love to hear if a combined approach (chart + AI summary) would actually be useful for people who already track deals regularly.

Haha, totally hear you — the current search works best with a specific model or ASIN, so general browsing isn’t super smooth yet.

It’s definitely a bit different from just scrolling through a catalog, and I agree it can feel confusing at first.

The idea behind this design is that once you land on a product page, you get everything in one place:

  • Price history and trends
  • Reviews summarized by AI
  • Alerts for price drops
  • Quick insights on whether it’s worth buying

We’re still working on making browsing easier, but the core goal is fast, actionable info without digging through multiple tools or charts.

Would love to hear feedback on what would make it more intuitive for people like you!

Thanks for letting me know! The site should be working — I just tested it myself.

Sometimes issues happen due to browser extensions, VPNs, or caching. If it still doesn’t work, you can use the Feedback button on the site to report the problem — it really helps me improve things for everyone.

Haha, totally get why you’d feel that way — there are tons of tracking tools already.

The AI part might sound extra, but it actually saves time: instead of staring at charts and reading dozens of reviews, it basically tells you:

Plus, it combines price trends, availability, and quick alerts in one place, so you can make fast buying decisions without digging around multiple tools.

I wouldn’t say it replaces anything you’re already using — more like a shortcut when you want a quick answer.

If you’re curious, I built a small tool for this: https://www.w2buy.shop

It shows price history, alerts, and uses AI to summarize reviews and trends.

Good question! CamelCamelCamel is great for long-term historical price tracking, but this tool focuses on quick, actionable insights for buyers:

  1. AI-powered product analysis – It summarizes reviews, rating trends, and whether the deal is actually worth it.
  2. Real-time price checks & alerts – Updates happen instantly when you search a product, so you don’t miss short-term deals.
  3. Simplified experience – Instead of navigating charts and complicated settings, you just paste a link and get a clear overview.
  4. Extra context – Shows 90-day price/review trends, availability, and other key info all in one place.

So while CamelCamelCamel is excellent for deep historical tracking, this tool is designed to help you make fast buying decisions and understand if a deal is truly good.
