Problem
Good deals surface and disappear inside minutes, and I can't sit and refresh a feed all day. A fixed keyword rule was no help; whether a deal is good depends on resale price after fees.
Evaluation
Two tiers. A fast local pass returns a straight good-or-bad verdict, which handles most deals. When confidence falls below about 85%, the model escalates to slower, more thorough reasoning on market value, resale margin and fees. The fast pass minimizes delay for routine calls, while the deeper pass spends additional time only on uncertain cases. An alert typically lands around 20 seconds after pickup, while the deal still exists.
Using past decisions
When I approve or reject a recommendation, that decision is stored as a historical example. When evaluating a future product, the system retrieves relevant past calls, such as recent approvals or denials involving the same CPU family, and supplies them as context in the evaluation prompt. Roughly ten examples get pulled in, depending on the product category and how well the matching lands.
Delivery
Verdicts stream into the UI as they land and anything marked good pings me instantly. Processing is designed to keep pace with the source's normal posting rate. It runs on my own hardware, so evaluating everything costs nothing per deal.
