ShopSavvy - Empowering Local Commerce Through Online Price Comparison with AI Integration for Customers

This paper presents an innovative e-commerce platform designed to empower local vendors by providing a space to sell products and groceries online. The platform incorporates two key features aimed at enhancing customer experience and promoting local businesses. The first feature leverages a price comparison tool, allowing users to compare the prices of local products across various vendors, thus promoting competitive pricing. The second feature utilizes AI (via ChatGPT API) to generate food recipes based on user input and recommend the ingredients required for each dish. Users can purchase these ingredients directly from the platform, fostering a seamless shopping experience. The system is developed using PHP, MySQL, and XAMPP, with AI integration via the ChatGPT API. The platform aims to bridge the gap between urban and rural markets by offering localized solutions for online shopping, benefiting both vendors and consumers. This paper discusses the platform's design, functionality, and potential impact on hyper-local e-commerce and grocery retail.
