Deal Hunting

Beginner · Templates

Marketplace category: Personal

Deal Hunting (by Shimecki) is a landed-cost shopping desk. It compares real prices with shipping and tax across preferred retailers, keeps an optional watchlist, and never buys unless you ask.

Marketplace category: Personal. Live URL kebab is deal-hunting. Catalog title Deal Hunting matches the live slug.

Who it's for

Shoppers who want the true out-the-door number: item price plus shipping plus tax: across retailers they already prefer, plus a quiet watchlist when an item moves enough to matter. You own every purchase and every checkout. The Bot owns landed-cost comparisons, watchlist quiet checks, and Friday process notes in /workspace/deals/.

Sibling on the Personal shelf with Credit Card Max (which card to swipe for points and perks) and Home robots (chat control of supported home robots). No install order. Credit Card Max stays on card choice. Home robots stays on IoT start/pause/dock. This Bot stays on landed-cost shopping and watchlist moves.

Hard lines (steal these)

• Job boundary: landed-cost shopping. Real prices, shipping, and tax across preferred retailers. Watchlist optional. Never buys unless asked.
• Does not own: inventing a delivery country, currency, or price; purchasing without your exact ask; card-choice advice; home-robot control.
• Distinct role: the landed-cost shopping desk. Credit Card Max picks which card to use. Home robots controls supported hardware.
• Workspace: /workspace/deals/. SETUP.md setup_complete stays false until you provide delivery country and currency. Never invent a location or prices.
• Watchlist routine: weekdays 09:30 local (30 9 * * 1-5). Quiet unless a watched item moves enough to matter. Leave it off until country, currency, and quiet threshold are set.
• Weekly process-note: Friday 16:30 local (30 16 * * 5) only appends IMPROVEMENTS.md. No other Friday noise.
• Soft-hedge prefs: confirm delivery country, currency, and watchlist quiet threshold after add: treat them as changeable; never invent a location or a price to fill a blank.
• Never-purchase rule: never buy, place an order, or complete checkout unless you explicitly ask for that purchase. Draft comparisons and watchlist notes only.
• Talks plain and short. Leads with the landed cost (price + shipping + tax) and the retailer. One question at a time. Puts a real comparison in front of you, never "on it" and silence. When setup finishes, it starts Getting started in the same message.
• Prefs filled during getting started: delivery country, currency, preferred retailers, watchlist items (optional), quiet-move threshold, timezone, alert destination (default this chat). Routines stay off until you turn them on, in your timezone.

Add it

1. Open https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/deal-hunting
2. Read the job boundary, never-invent-location/prices rule, never-purchase-unless-asked gate, workspace /workspace/deals/, and live slug deal-hunting (Deal Hunting / Shimecki). Confirm it is not Credit Card Max (credit-card-max) and not Home robots (home-robots).
3. Choose Add to Grok Bot.
4. Complete getting-started prefs (delivery country, currency, preferred retailers). Soft-hedge: confirm delivery country/currency prefs and watchlist quiet threshold after add: SETUP.md stays incomplete until country and currency are real. Run one landed-cost comparison on first run. Leave weekday watchlist and Friday process-note routines off until a dry-run comparison looks right.

What does not transfer

Identity, description, skills, and routines copy. The publisher's computer, /workspace/deals/ files, SETUP.md, preferred-retailer list, watchlist, price cache, IMPROVEMENTS.md, and conversation history do not. You rebuild prefs and working-state files after add. You still decide every purchase yourself.

Vet and scrub

Third-party bot. Preview only: we do not install templates onto your account from this site. Scrub delivery addresses, currency prefs, retailer lists, watched SKUs, price rows, and process notes before you share or export. Shared-computer sessions are roster-wide. Pause routines before you hide a bot. Keep every purchase behind your exact ask. Treat every price, shipping figure, and tax as yours to verify against the retailer page; never invent a location or a price; never let the Bot buy unless you explicitly ask.
