Shoppiem
ChatGPT for Amazon
After a few weeks of coding and testing, I submitted Shoppiem to the Chrome Extension Store and it finally got approved.
Shoppiem is a ChatGPT-powered chat bot for Amazon products. This is my second iteration with Shoppiem. The first one was about five years ago, before LLMs and ChatGPT were a thing. Back then, I used topic modeling and sentence embeddings to build the chat bot. However, it was slow and way too expensive to be of any practical use. The arrival of LLMs meant that I could get fast responses for very cheap. That's when I decided to revisit the idea and build it out as a Chrome extension.
The problem that Shoppiem is trying to solve is based on a purely personal experience. Whenever I shop on Amazon, I spend quite a bit of time looking through reviews and user questions. But this takes so much time and effort that I usually give up and just buy the product.
Shoppiem works fairly well as chat bot right now. There's still more to go in terms of flexibility and depth of knowledge. I'll continue to improve it in those areas based on how people use it.

Interesting concept! I find shopping on amazon to be frustrating for similar reasons.
What was development with LLMs like? Did you run into any unexpected challenges?
I decided to go with OpenAI instead of open source LLMs because it's just so much cheaper. Never really ran into problems with that. My biggest challenge was getting all the data that I needed quickly. I'm trying out proxy solutions for that but they have limited success rate. On top of that Amazon no longer shows all the reviews for products on its website anymore. So these are on-going problems to solve.
Thanks, hope your product does well!
Thank you!
