Too many products? Turn your needs into buying criteria
Supply your use, budget and must-haves to draft reusable buying criteria and a sourced comparison for your own decision.
Execution environment and usage
AI / software
Claude web search (claude.ai)
Where to operate
Web-search chat at https://claude.ai; verify availability in the account.
Getting started
- Open https://claude.ai. Where shown, enable Web search in the + menu; the new interface may search automatically, so request web research and inspect sources.
- Check access to Claude Projects and the required search features. Specify purpose, region, budget, must-haves and negotiable preferences.
- Read public product sources, record check dates and unknown costs, and have the user verify linked pages.
Setup and plan requirements
Task inputs: Check access to Claude Projects and the required search features. Specify purpose, region, budget, must-haves and negotiable preferences. Use an eligible tool that can read the supplied format; verify parsing, context limits and access before relying on it.
Prompt portability limits
The written request can be adapted to a chatbot that accepts the same input. It does not transfer the original agent, plugins or computer permissions.
Usage limitations
The full exercise needs available Claude web-search capability, public product pages and checked dates; text-only input supports criteria drafting only.This independent pass reviewed local case records, without revalidating original sources or hands-on testing. Official search documentation was read for this review; page access and current prices still need checking each run. No store was tested.

適用情境 / When to use
Supply your use, budget and must-haves to draft reusable buying criteria and a sourced comparison for your own decision. The full exercise needs available Claude web-search capability, public product pages and checked dates; text-only input supports criteria drafting only. Original case: Another How I AI demonstration stores buying preferences in a Claude Project and researches a can opener.
步驟 / Steps
- Check access to Claude Projects and the required search features. Specify purpose, region, budget, must-haves and negotiable preferences.
- Try a product you genuinely need. Request specification evidence from manufacturers or sellers, separating reviews from verifiable facts.
- Open candidate pages to check specifications, shipping costs and return terms. Save project instructions only if the criteria still suit you.
提示詞 / Prompt
Help create reusable buying criteria for [product purpose], in [region], with [budget including necessary costs and currency], [must-haves] and [negotiable preferences]. Identify conflicts and gaps before researching matching products. Support comparisons with specifications and sources, noting unknowns, check times and tradeoffs. Do not choose material preferences or a fixed number of candidates for me. Do not order anything.
留意事項 / Cautions
- Brand age, natural materials or advertising volume alone do not establish quality. Do not inherit the demonstrator’s tastes.
- Stored prices and availability age; recheck them before purchase.
來源限制 / Evidence limits
This is a product-research demonstration, not durability testing or a quality guarantee. It cannot establish that an item will last a lifetime.
流程說明 / Workflow note
The following is an original, untested exercise, not a reproduction of the reported session. Check available features and permissions, then adapt it to your own constraints.
