Assist With Buying

Assist you and your AI with every purchase — the research, the candidates, the prices, and the reason you decided.

Your AI does the searching, the reading and the comparing wherever it already works — Buying keeps the candidates, the dated prices, the evidence and the reason you landed where you did.

Assist With Buying · highlight

A price timeline, not one number.

Asking, observed, sold, estimated — every figure keeps its date and its source instead of overwriting the last one. So when your AI says “wait”, you can see exactly what it's looking at, and a listing that disappears doesn't take its history with it.

Good ideas your AI can borrow.

Short playbooks for a kind of buying work — the right questions, in a sensible order. Entirely optional: your AI can follow one, adapt it, or ignore them all.

  • Establish a fair price

    6 steps
    1. pin down the exact model, year and variant
    2. find sold results, not asking prices
    3. adjust for condition and what's included
    4. save each comparable with its source
    5. state a range with the uncertainty visible
    6. note what would move the number either way
  • Check a used listing before you drive

    5 steps
    1. read the listing for what it doesn't say
    2. ask for the serial, the fault history and a photo it can't fake
    3. check the seller's other listings and history
    4. price the repairs the photos imply
    5. decide the walk-away number before you go
  • Find where to actually buy it

    4 steps
    1. list every channel that carries it, not just the obvious one
    2. compare landed cost — shipping, tax, import, fees
    3. check stock and lead time at each
    4. record which channel won and why
  • Watch a price until it's right

    5 steps
    1. set the number you would say yes to
    2. record today's price as a dated observation
    3. note the seasonal or model-cycle pattern
    4. check again on a schedule, not on impulse
    5. decide the moment the number is hit
  • Work a garage or estate sale

    4 steps
    1. photograph anything you can't identify on the spot
    2. research the maker's marks and model numbers after
    3. sort into worth it, maybe, and walk away
    4. keep the finds you passed on, with the reason
  • Decide between two you like

    5 steps
    1. write the criteria down before you compare
    2. score both against the criteria, not the vibe
    3. name what each one costs you
    4. sit with the loser for a day
    5. record the decision and why it was close

What it keeps

Your research and reasoning stay in Buying.

A purchase you're thinking about is nobody else's business. Buying holds the candidates, prices and notes for you; sharing a comparison is a deliberate, revocable act, and Buying never contacts a seller or spends a penny on your behalf.

Works with what you already use

Your AI brings the searching and the judgement.

When you authorise it, your AI can browse listings, read reviews, check specifications and hunt for the better price. Buying takes advantage of all of it — filing every finding with its source and date, keeping comparisons that survive months of looking, and holding the open questions until you decide.
