BestieBuy AI Search & Smart Query Parsing
Real Net-Price Calculation (Price + Shipping - Coupons)
Unit Value Breakdown & Unbiased 3-Store Comparison
Transparency Badge & Direct Product Redirection

💡 Inspiration Modern e-commerce platform lists discounts, platform vouchers, and variable shipping rates separately, making it nearly impossible for consumers to instantly know their final total. Many "price comparison" tools only display base listing prices, hiding total checkout fees or promoting specific sponsored listings. BestieBuy AI was created to solve this exact problem: providing absolute transparency, calculating real net prices, and restoring trust for online shoppers.

🚀 What It Does

Real Net-Price Calculation: Calculates the true checkout total: (Listing Price + Shipping Fees) - (Platform Vouchers + Store Discounts) = Final Net Price.
Unit Value Breakdown: Extracts item net weight/volume (e.g., 90g x 4 packs) to display cost-per-unit for transparent value assessment.
Unbiased 3-Store Comparison: Compares three major store options side-by-side with zero hidden bias, complemented by an official Transparency Badge.
Seamless Direct Linking: Features direct affiliate-disclosed links (Direct Product Redirection) straight to verified product listing pages without navigation dead-ends.

🛠️ How We Built It

Frontend: Interactive Web UI tailored for intuitive mobile and desktop browsing.
Backend: Deployed as a high-performance, serverless container on Google Cloud Run (asia-southeast1).
AI Core: Integrated with Gemini API for real-time natural language query parsing, weight/pack-size extraction, and instantaneous net-price calculation logic.

🏆 Challenges We Overcame During development, we resolved critical frontend module export runtime issues (e.g., currency formatting modules) and optimized automated search fallback logic to ensure product search links cleanly bridge consumers to real merchant storefronts without breaking user sessions. 🏅 Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

Successfully deployed a scalable, 24/7 high-availability backend infrastructure on Google Cloud Run.
Delivered an end-to-end working MVP that enforces strict consumer transparency standards without sponsored bias.

📚 What We Learned Architecting serverless AI workflows taught us the importance of graceful fallback handling, real-time discount parsing, and creating clear disclosure mechanisms for affiliate commerce links.
