Compare a Few Things I'm Shopping For

What you'll get: A side-by-side table of the options you're looking at, ranked for your needs, with the trade-offs in plain words.

For: Everyday

Help me choose between a few options I'm shopping for. What I'm buying: [ITEM, LIKE A SOFA OR VACUUM]. What matters most to me: [3 THINGS, LIKE PRICE, SIZE, EASY TO CLEAN]. My budget: [AMOUNT]. Here are the options: [PASTE THE DETAILS OR LINKS FOR EACH ONE]. Make a simple table comparing them on what matters to me, then rank them and explain the top pick in 2 or 3 sentences. Only use the details I gave you, and say clearly if something I'd want to know is missing, so I can check it.

💡 Name your top 3 must-haves. Without them the AI ranks on whatever it guesses matters, not what you care about.

Spot a Scam

Check if a message, email, or call sounds fishy.

I got this [EMAIL / TEXT / PHONE CALL]: "[PASTE MESSAGE OR DESCRIBE IT]". Does this look like a scam? Explain the warning signs in plain words and tell me what I should do next. Remind me what a real company would and wouldn't ask for.

💡 AI is good at spotting common scam patterns, but when in doubt, call the company using a number you already trust.

Simplify Instructions

Make sense of confusing directions.

These instructions for my [ITEM, e.g., new thermostat] are confusing: "[PASTE INSTRUCTIONS]". Rewrite them as short, numbered steps in plain words, and point out anything I should be careful about.

💡 Numbered steps are much easier to follow one at a time.

Explain a Confusing Document

Understand a contract, lease, or letter.

Explain this [CONTRACT / LEASE / LETTER] in plain, everyday words: "[PASTE TEXT]". Tell me: what it's asking me to do, any deadlines, any costs, and anything I should ask a professional about before signing.

💡 The AI helps you understand it, and the last part reminds you when to get real advice.
