Capabilities

Tools 11

brand_price_drops

A brand's products whose prices dropped recently (up to the last 7 days) across Indian online stores, biggest drop first. Use for 'Samsung price drops', 'what Philips products got cheaper', 'any deals on boAt this week', 'Samsung TV price drops' (brand + keyword). Pass the brand name as written by the user; optional keyword narrows to a product type (e.g. 'tv', 'washing machine'). Each product's priceChange is the drop in INR (negative). Shown to the user as product cards.

Discovered
browse_categories

List CheapestInIndia product category groups (id + name). Use an id as category_ids in search_products, or as category_id in top_price_drops. Optionally filter by a name fragment.

Discovered
compare_products

Compare 2–4 CheapestInIndia products side by side on facts: current price, MRP and discount, store, retailer rating and review count, lowest price ever and in the last 30 days, how far today's price is above its low, and how often the price changes. Use ids from search_products. Highlights the cheapest, the best-rated and the one closest to its lowest price; it does not judge specs.

Discovered
get_price_history

Price history and price check for a product sold in India, from CheapestInIndia's price tracking: current price, lowest and highest price ever (with dates), lowest in the last 7/30/90 days, how often the price changes, a price chart, and a factual verdict on where today's price sits. Use it for 'is ₹X a good price for <product>?', 'price history of <product>', 'lowest price of <product>', 'was it cheaper before?' and 'should I buy now or has it been lower?'. Pass the product name as `query` (e.g. 'JBL Flip 6') — the best-matching listing is used and other listings are returned so you can switch — or an exact `id` from another tool. Shown to the user as a price-history card with a chart. The verdict describes the past only — never present it as a forecast.

Discovered
get_product

Full details for one CheapestInIndia product: current price, MRP, store, retailer rating, a price-history summary (lowest/highest ever, verdict), other variants at the same store, and similar products elsewhere. Use the id from search_products.

Discovered
lookup_product_by_url

Find a product on CheapestInIndia from a retailer link the user pasted (Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, Croma, …) and return its tracked price, price-history summary, variants and similar products. Only products CheapestInIndia already tracks can be found.

Discovered
market_snapshot

What a type of product costs in India right now, from CheapestInIndia's live listings across Indian stores: price range, median, budget / mid-range / premium price bands with their main brands and example products, and which brands and stores sell it. Use for 'how much does X cost in India', 'how much should I budget for X', 'what does a good X cost', 'price range of X', 'what should I pay for X' and 'which brands sell X in India' — prices in India change daily, so use this rather than general knowledge. Example products from each band are shown to the user as product cards. Computed from the top ~120 search results — a snapshot of current listings, not total market data.

Discovered
render_product_results

Display a hand-picked set of products as interactive product cards in the chat (search, price-drop and sale results already show cards on their own). Pass `ids` — the product ids from another CheapestInIndia tool's results (each product line shows `id …`) — and the server loads the full, current product data. Pass search_query (the search behind these products) so the cards link to all results on CheapestInIndia. Do not invent products.

Discovered
sale_events

Live retailer sale events tracked by CheapestInIndia (e.g. Flipkart Big Billion Days, Amazon Great Indian Festival). Without slug: lists current sales. With slug: the products whose prices dropped during that sale.

Discovered
search_products

Search CheapestInIndia for products sold in India, with live prices from Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, Myntra, Nykaa and other Indian retailers. Use it for any shopping question about products in India: prices, where to buy, options under a budget. For 'is ₹X a good price' or price history of a named product, call get_price_history with `query` directly. Results are ordered category-first: real products before accessories, stores mixed. Put the brand in the query ('samsung 55 inch tv'). Returns products (price, MRP, discount, store, image, buy link, price-history page) and facets (stores, categories, price range). The results are shown to the user as product cards automatically, with a link to all results on CheapestInIndia. Next steps: get_price_history to judge a price, compare_products to compare 2–4 items; render_product_results only to show a hand-picked subset.

Discovered
top_price_drops

Products whose price dropped the most in the last N hours across Indian retailers. Use for 'deals today', 'what got cheaper' or 'price drops on phones'. For a product type, pass `category` as a plain name (e.g. 'air conditioners', 'mobile phones', 'laptops') in the same call — no need to look up an id first. With a category, products are ranked by the rupee drop; without one, by the percentage drop. Each product's priceChange is the drop in INR (negative). Shown to the user as product cards.
