Maven is an AI-powered product assistant designed to streamline the process of researching, selecting, and comparing electronic products. It helps users find, compare, and understand products with ease.

Maven AI is a demonstration application created for a developer portfolio and is not intended for production use yet. Because it is a preview experience, conversations are limited in length and there is a daily cap on requests.

The workflow begins when a user provides input. Maven's central 'orchestrator' analyzes the input to determine intent, selects the best agent tool for the task, and manages the conversation's state. After the tool executes, the AI state is updated and the results are rendered as UI components for the user.

To achieve optimal results, be specific in your queries. The more comprehensive context you provide about your needs, budget, intended use, and desired features, the better Maven can understand your intent and provide relevant recommendations. It is an iterative process, so you can always refine your query based on initial results.

Maven utilizes several specialized agent tools, including: 'AI Product Picks' for personalized recommendations, 'Find Products Fast' for locating items, 'Deep Product Insights' for detailed information, 'Compare Side-by-Side' for direct comparisons, and 'User Inquirer' which proactively asks clarifying questions to better understand your needs.

Yes, Maven allows you to directly compare multiple products side-by-side. It provides clear, concise comparisons that highlight key differences and similarities to help you make an informed choice.

If the recommendations are irrelevant, you should double-check that you have provided enough context and refine your query with more specific details about your needs and preferences. You can also try using different keywords or narrowing your search by adding more constraints, like a stricter budget.

Maven gathers comprehensive product information from multiple sources, including web scraping and external databases. It can retrieve and analyze information from web content, social media, forums, and other third-party data repositories.

Maven is an experimental application. As a demonstration, there are limits on conversation length and daily requests. Additionally, since Maven relies on available online data, information may sometimes be incomplete, outdated, or unavailable for certain products.

Yes. It is recommended to always verify critical information, especially pricing and availability, on the retailer's website before making a final purchase decision.
