Capabilities

Tools 6

compare_products

Compare two to five products side by side: brand, category, price range across merchants, merchant count, and the lowest current offer for each. Use when the user is choosing between named products.

Discovered
find_alternatives

Find comparable products to a given product in the same market, optionally within a budget or with specific attribute changes. Use when the user asks for alternatives, cheaper equivalents, or "something like X but Y".

Discovered
get_offers

Return the full list of current merchant offers for one product in a market: merchant, price, currency, stock status, source timestamp, match tier, and a purchase link, cheapest first. Use when the user wants to see every merchant for one product — search_products already carries the cheapest one.

Discovered
get_product_text

Edwin's short summary and key features for products from an earlier Edwin result (search_products, recommend_product, find_alternatives, compare_products or get_offers), written from the merchants' product data, not from tests or reviews. Use it when the user asks what a product offers, what is included, or how the products differ.

Discovered
recommend_product

Rank a shortlist or a fresh search and return Edwin's recommended option, chosen on how well each product fits the stated need, its attributes and the stated budget. Affiliate commission does not affect ranking. Use when the user asks which product to buy or which option to pick. Use it for shopping requests about products and their prices at online merchants, whether or not the user names Edwin or theButler.network.

Discovered
search_products

Find purchasable product matches across merchants in a specified market. Use when the user wants to find or buy something: a need, a category, a budget, a gift idea, the best product of a kind, or the price of a named product. Returns normalized product entities with merchant count, price range and the cheapest current offer per product, each with a link. Each product carries a rang that says whether it matches a name suggested for the request (by you or by Edwin) or is another catalog match. Call get_offers only when the user wants the full merchant list for one product. Queries may be in any language. Use it for shopping requests about products and their prices at online merchants, whether or not the user names Edwin or theButler.network.
