Inspiration
Ever bought something online and later found out it was cheaper in another store or country? We realized that shopping across Europe can save you money, but comparing prices, shipping costs, and different stores takes way too much effort. That's where the idea for Dealow came from.
What it does
Dealow is your AI shopping sidekick, built for Europe. It works alongside you while you shop online, finds better deals across European countries, and helps you avoid overpaying. You can even chat with Dealow, ask questions, and get advice on whether a product is worth buying or if there's a better alternative.
How we built it
We built a browser extension that recognizes products and compares offers from different European retailers. We integrated AI to help match products, suggest alternatives, and create a conversational shopping experience.
Challenges we ran into
Comparing prices across countries turned out to be harder than expected. Different product names, shipping fees, and delivery restrictions made finding genuinely better deals challenging.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of creating more than just another price comparison tool. Dealow feels like a personal shopping sidekick that understands what you're looking for, talks to you, and helps you make smarter decisions. We're also proud of building a fun, approachable brand around it.
What we learned
We learned how much goes into making cross-border shopping simple and that AI is most useful when it solves real everyday problems. We also learned how important it is to create something people actually enjoy using.
What's next for Dealow
We want to expand to more European retailers, improve our AI shopping assistant, and introduce features like price alerts, smarter recommendations, and personalised shopping advice.
