As India gears up for the much-awaited Flipkart Big Billion Days and Amazon Great Indian Festival sales from September 23, shoppers are turning to advanced AI tools this year to uncover genuine bargains amid the raining discounts. In the midst of true-good-to-be-true deals and offers, AI tools can now clarify whether these festive sales are offering any true discount or deal compared to the regular ones.
With these AI tools, you as a consumer can scan everything – from electronics and gadgets to fashion and home essentials – filtering real discounts and navigating out of the confusing price fluctuations and deceptive deals.
Hence, prior to the online shopping mania, we recommend trying out these AI tools and browser extensions to identify the real deals and stay away from the fake deals.
How AI tools can filter real and fake deals
Although web browser extensions, which keep track of product prices from e-commerce sites, have been around for ages, the advent of generative AI has given tools like these greater intelligence.
One such reliable tool is the Buyhatke Deal Scanner extension, which is described as a smart shopping assistant helping users identify true discounts. The analysis is done based on historical price data of products listed on Flipkart and Amazon. The tool highlights the all-time lowest prices, average price trends, and recent price changes. This ensures that buyers avoid falling for misleading markdowns.
For example, the Apple iPhone 16, which is priced at Rs 69,999 in the Flipkart sale, might seem like a steal. However, Deal Scanner reveals the current price is still as much as the pre-sale price, thus offering no real discount. The advertised price of Rs 51,999 was reserved for a few customers, and some of them witnessed cancelled orders.
On the other hand, the iPhone 15 deal on Amazon is shown as a true deal, offering a real discount for customers. The iPhone 15 is listed at Rs 46,999 on Amazon, which is almost 23 per cent cheaper to buy than all other e-commerce portals, most of them listing it at Rs 59,900.
How to use the Buyhatke feature on your web browser
The easiest way to access the tool is to search for ‘Buyhatke’ on Google Search and use their website to search for the exact product, or share the product link. However, there’s an easier way to involve the tool via the Google Chrome extension.
The Buyhatke extension assists while browsing by automatically displaying detailed price analytics. This may deter you from making an impulsive purchase decision.
