Is This Black Friday Deal Good?

What you'll get: A plain read on whether a sale is worth it, plus the questions to check before you buy.

For: Everyday

I'm looking at this deal: [PRODUCT NAME, MODEL NUMBER, SALE PRICE, ORIGINAL PRICE, STORE]. I need it for [WHAT I'LL USE IT FOR]. Help me decide if it's a good buy. Tell me what to compare it against, what to check (return window, warranty, model number, whether it's a cut-down sale version), signs the 'original price' may be inflated, and give a simple buy, wait, or skip suggestion with your reasoning. Remind me to check current prices myself, since you may not have them.

💡 Paste the exact model number. Sale versions sometimes have a different model number than the regular one.

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.
