Visit whattobuy.app ↗What is WhatToBuy?
WhatToBuy helps shoppers quickly assemble personalized product lists for any occasion or goal. Users describe their situation in plain English—whether planning a camping trip, setting up a home office, or buying newborn essentials—and the app generates ready-to-shop carts with real products, prices, and direct purchase links.
The platform offers two modes: Fast mode instantly creates three tiered carts (Budget, Balanced, Premium) without sign-in, while Deep mode engages users in a conversation to refine recommendations. The maker says it uses Claude to parse scenarios into specific product queries, which are then scored by price, rating, and reviews. Each cart includes product ratings and links, letting shoppers pick items within their budget.
