Try these prompts
- "Find the latest price for a Sony WH-1000XM5 in India"
- "Compare prices for office chairs across Indian stores"
- "Compare prices for Philips trimmers across Indian stores"
- "Find the cheapest boAt earbuds and show them as cards"
- "What product categories can I browse?"
Brand and model names ("boAt earbuds", "Sony WH-1000XM5") give cleaner results than very generic terms, which can pull in accessories.
