The problem it solves

You want to catch a price drop on a product you're watching, but checking the listing yourself day after day is tedious and easy to forget. Without a running record, you can't tell if today's price is actually a good deal.

Who it fits

An online shopper, reseller, or buyer who wants to track price trends on specific products over time.

How it works

  1. You submit an Amazon product link through a form
  2. The automation fetches the current price and product details
  3. It reformats the data to match your tracking spreadsheet
  4. It adds a new row to your Google Sheet with the latest price
What you get

Price history tracked without checking daily

You get a running price history for any Amazon product logged automatically every time you check it.

What you get

A running price history for each product in a Google Sheet, updated every time you check.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an API key for a product price data service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
