Inspiration
The inspiration behind this project is that there are lots of tempting offers on Facebook Marketplace, but it's really hard to bargain with people. This project aims to make it easier to lowball people and actually get what you want for cheaper.
What it does
What it actually does is deploy a fleet of agents that message the seller and try to convince them to get lowballed by us. We have a small system where we have two people messaging the seller, another guy as the lister, and a mastermind behind all of this. The mastermind is able to deploy a strategy to lowball the seller.
Usually, the lister sets out a fake listing with a very cheap price. Our two agents then text the seller, play good cop/bad cop, and try to lowball them and leverage the fake listing as well.
We use LangGraph to actually allow the agents to communicate with one another effectively. Then we use browser use, which allows us to have a research agent as well, which researches the actual market price and was a fair estimate of how much we can actually lowball the person.
How we built it
