Inspiration

We’ve all experienced the eerie accuracy of ads for products we just talked about. Inspired by this, we wanted to create a tool that actively listens to user needs and provides tailored, intentional recommendations—without the creepiness of data exploitation.

What it does

AI Procurer listens to conversations and identifies the user’s needs in real-time. It then suggests relevant apps, tools, or products to solve those needs, offering actionable solutions without invasive ads.

How we built it

The idea started by mapping gaps in my daily routine. I noticed that conversations often sparked ideas like, “Wouldn’t it be great if this existed?” While ads occasionally offer solutions, they’re limited to those with advertising budgets. Word-of-mouth solutions, on the other hand, require extra effort—I’d have to take notes, revisit the topic, and manually search Google or ask ChatGPT later.

With AI Procurer, I now receive a daily summary of product and service recommendations tailored to help me achieve personal and professional goals. For companies, this is a game-changer: they can save on ads by focusing on strong SEO and creating valuable solutions that AI will naturally recommend to Omi users.

This is a continuous process of refining prompts and recommendations based on user feedback to ensure relevance and value.

Challenges we ran into

One of the key challenges was envisioning a seamless user experience with features like clickable URLs, real-time notifications, and a dynamic dashboard for solutions. Additionally, integrating a system to notify brands being mentioned—encouraging them to engage and contribute to Omi’s growing ecosystem—requires careful planning and development.

These features will take more time to build, but I’m excited to bring them to life!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

1. Successfully matching real-world conversational cues with relevant product or app recommendations.
2. Reach 10+ installs in less then 24h

What we learned

Sometimes, it’s not about having the most advanced technology but about gaining a deeper understanding of the problem. Truly empathizing with user needs and focusing on meaningful solutions can make all the difference.

What's next for AI Procurer/Buyer

1. Enhancing the user experience by implementing features such as clickable URLs, real-time notifications, and a dynamic dashboard to streamline access to recommended solutions.
2. Integrating a system to notify brands being mentioned, or at the very least, including UTM tracking to provide insights and engagement opportunities.
3. Introducing user interaction features to allow feedback on the recommendations—helping refine results by identifying what to avoid or prioritize, making the experience more personalized and valuable.
