What is Dealhound? The AI That Hunts Deals So You Don't Have To

Finding a good deal online is weirdly hard.

Not because deals don't exist — they do, constantly. Prices fluctuate across dozens of retailers every day. Lightning sales appear and vanish. Last season's model quietly drops 40% on a random Tuesday. Someone lists a barely-used version for half price on a marketplace you never check.

The deals are out there. The problem is that finding them requires checking ten websites, knowing which products are actually comparable, understanding whether a "sale" price is genuinely good, and doing this repeatedly until the timing lines up.

Nobody has time for that. So most people just buy whatever shows up first on Amazon and hope for the best.

Dealhound is what happens when you point AI at that problem.

How It Works

Dealhound is an AI deal-finding agent. You tell it what you want — in plain language — and it continuously searches for it across retailers, marketplaces, and resale platforms.

Step 1: Tell it what you're looking for.
Not a specific URL or product ID. Just describe what you want:

• "Wireless noise-canceling earbuds under $50"
• "Herman Miller Aeron chair, size B, used is fine"
• "A good espresso grinder under $300"
• "Vintage Marantz receiver in working condition"

Step 2: Dealhound searches — and keeps searching.
This is the key difference from Googling. Dealhound doesn't do a one-time search. It continuously monitors across multiple sources, comparing prices, checking availability, and scoring deals based on how good they actually are relative to typical market prices.

Step 3: You get notified when something's worth buying.
Not every listing. Not every minor price change. Dealhound alerts you when a product matching your criteria hits a price that's genuinely good — below average, near a historic low, or significantly undercutting competitors.

That's it. You describe what you want, go live your life, and get a ping when the deal is real.

Who It's For

Dealhound is built for people who:

• Have specific things they want to buy but aren't in a rush. If you need headphones today, just go buy headphones. If you want great headphones at a great price and can wait for the right moment, that's where Dealhound shines.

• Shop in categories where prices are volatile. Electronics, used goods, niche collectibles, seasonal gear — anywhere prices swing 20%+ regularly.

• Value their time more than the savings from manual deal-hunting. Checking five retailers daily for three weeks to save $40 is a bad trade for most people. Having an AI do it while you don't think about it? That's a good trade.

• Hunt in niches where deals are genuinely hard to find. This is where Dealhound gets interesting.

Where Dealhound Gets Interesting: Niche Markets

Most price trackers work great for commodity products on Amazon. Set an alert for the Sony WH-1000XM5 and you'll know when it drops below $280. Useful, but not exactly groundbreaking.

Dealhound is designed to go deeper — into the categories where finding deals actually requires intelligence, not just tracking a single price on a single page.

Vintage and used markets. Looking for a specific vintage camera lens, a used espresso machine, or a particular pressing of a vinyl record? These items don't have stable URLs. They appear across eBay, Facebook Marketplace, specialty forums, and niche platforms. Dealhound can monitor across these sources for items matching your description.

Collector categories. Mechanical watches, LEGO retired sets, trading cards, designer handbags — markets where pricing depends on condition, edition, provenance, and a dozen other variables. Dealhound understands these nuances better than a simple keyword alert.

Hobby and enthusiast gear. Mechanical keyboards, cycling components, woodworking tools, outdoor equipment — communities where "knowing when to buy" is half the game. Dealhound learns the pricing patterns so you don't have to.

What Makes It Different

You describe what you want in plain language. No need to find the exact product URL, select a specific retailer, or know the model number. "Good noise-canceling headphones under $200" is a valid search.

It searches across retailers, not just one. Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, eBay, specialty platforms — Dealhound casts a wide net so you don't have to check each one manually.

It understands value, not just price. A $30 earbud that dropped from $35 isn't a deal. A $42 earbud that dropped from $65 and has ANC? That's a deal. Dealhound scores based on how good the price is relative to the product's value and price history, not just whether the number went down.

It's continuous. Set your search once, get notified over days or weeks whenever something worthwhile surfaces. Deals don't run on your schedule — but Dealhound runs on theirs.

It doesn't make money by steering you to specific products. No affiliate-ranked results. No sponsored placements. Dealhound's only job is to find you the best deal, full stop.

What It Doesn't Do

Transparency matters, so here's what Dealhound isn't:

• Not a coupon finder. It doesn't auto-apply promo codes at checkout. (Here's how to do that.)
• Not a cashback program. It finds the deal; you can stack cashback programs on top yourself.
• Not a buy button. Dealhound tells you where the deal is. You go buy it yourself from whatever retailer has the best price.
• Not magic. If a product never goes on sale, Dealhound can't conjure a discount that doesn't exist. But it can tell you that the price never drops, saving you from waiting for a deal that'll never come.
