Shopping & ErrandsDone with custom-built or unnamed agent Sep 23, 2026
Scan thrift store items and flag good deals
An agent processes video frames from a thrift store, looks up online prices for items, and alerts the user to good deals.
- What They Did
- Wes Bos built an agent that processes video frames captured while scanning thrift store items, identifies objects in the frames, queries online prices for each, and alerts on good deals.
- How It Went
- The builder reported being shocked at how well the agent worked.
Try it yourself with custom-built or unnamed agent
I'll share photos or video frames from a thrift store. For each item you can identify, look up typical resale prices on [eBay, Etsy, or other sites] and tell me which ones are priced well below resale value. You are done when I have a ranked list of the best deals with the asking price, expected resale price, and your confidence for each.
