Use described publicly by TF1 Info — Carmelo (14 May 2025), summarised by the desk. Not tested by iadujour.

The result to aim for

Carmelo, in a market, photographes an item and asks the AI if it can find cheaper elsewhere. It reassures him, or discourages him.

What was done

TF1 Info (report Marjorie Le Meur and Thierry Chartier, 14 May 2025). Restricted: picture of an item in the market. Distinct from Jérôme Illies (frigo, same URL) and Djamila (chaton, same URL). Ceiling 3 plugs / URL. This is not a test to reject the tool: comparison is used before buying. No credit cards are published.

  2. Adapt the prompt

Your starting point.

Replace the bracketed items, then adapt the proposal to your situation. This prompt is written by the iadujour desk It is not a quotation from the source.

The prompt to customise
Photo (facts): item viewed on a market, price requested [X €].

Tell me if I can find cheaper somewhere else. Table: type of place, target price, point to be checked on site.
Invent no stock. If the price isn't hurled, say it. No payment.

What deserves your attention

A price generated is not a label. Cut on site or on the seller's site, and do not paste RIB.
