Track Amazon price drops and get AI summaries in Google Sheets

The system scrapes Amazon price-drop listings, has AI summarize and rate each deal, and saves it all to Google Sheets.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each product listing.

Pattern: Multiple Instances with a priori Design-Time Knowledge (13)

The problem it solves

You want to keep track of the best Amazon price drops but checking listings by hand and writing up notes on each one eats up your day. Turning that raw data into something you can actually scan and act on takes even longer.

Who it fits

E-commerce analysts, deal-tracking teams, or affiliate marketers who monitor Amazon price drops.

How it works

  1. The system scrapes a page of Amazon price-drop listings
  2. It pulls out the product name, price, discount, and link for each item
  3. AI writes a short summary and a sentiment read for every product
  4. Every result is saved as a row in Google Sheets
What you get

Deals summarized and rated for you

You get a running spreadsheet of Amazon price drops complete with an AI summary and sentiment read for each item.

What you get

A Google Sheet of price-drop products with AI-written summaries and sentiment ratings for each one.

What you need

A web scraping account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google account for Sheets.

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.
