Comment on Show HN: I Relaunched, Blink – Your Personal Amazon Shopping Assistant

Comments

Seems broken.

I asked it to find me a cable to connect my iPad to a tv screen. It returned a JSON message with some random filler content and links to “example.com”.

Next I asked it for some help finding a light backpacking tent and it gave me options for suitcases and said they were on sale for “$$0” [sic].

Also, the follow up questions are wholly useless. Why would I want to ask the chatbot if it “wants to see other options”? That should be a command, ie “I want to see more options”. It also gave me the exact same options when I tried it.

Sometime it get broken, but will improve as soon as i can get access to the amazon product advertising api, which require 3 sales for approval. Also have added 50+ product guide to prepare for approval.

After next update it should have access to nearly all the amazon product, currently working on scrapped nearly 20k products
