A project-based research workspace for serious shoppers. Search the web with AI, capture items from any retailer, watch prices over time — all in one calm place.
The problem
You have thirty browser tabs, a half-finished notes doc, wishlists scattered across three different stores, and screenshots you'll never find again. Price trackers cover one retailer. Bookmarking tools make static lists. AI assistants don't know what you're actually looking at. Nobody puts it all together.
Bento does. Contextual web search + project workspaces + cross-retailer item capture + local price history + an AI that knows your context.
How it works
Pick a type — Vehicle, Pet, Home, Hobby, or Gift. Each pre-loads the right AI context for that kind of shopping.
Type what you're looking for. Bento searches across retailers and generates an AI shopping guide tailored to your project.
Paste any product URL or use the Chrome extension to capture items from any page. Price is snapshotted automatically when you save.
Every project has a persistent research thread. Ask questions, compare options, get summaries — with your saved items as context.
Revisit and refresh anytime. Bento shows exactly how much each price has moved since you first saved it — across any retailer.
Features
Typed project templates for Vehicle, Pet, Home, Hobby, and Gift shopping. The AI pre-loads the right context for each one — so it knows you're buying Bronco parts, not kitchen knives.
Search across retailers and get an AI shopping guide synthesized from the results — filtered by price, store, and what actually matters for your project type.
Paste a URL from Amazon, REI, Chewy, Carvana — anywhere. No store lock-in, no Amazon-only restrictions.
Prices are captured when you add or refresh an item. See drops across all your projects on one screen. No external price API required.
Each project has a persistent chat. Your items are its context — so answers are grounded in what you're actually looking at, not generic internet advice.
