Cool, congrats! Curious, how did you crawl the Shopify catalog?

It seems Shopify's big play in this is data syndication; they're pushing product data to AI companies before their competitors, and offering it as a service to non-Shopify stores (with their 'agentic plan' which launches soon). It adds a reason for new stores to pick Shopify, and they form relationships with existing non-Shopify stores?

That said, product/catalog discovery is on the UCP roadmap, and it seems you've been able to do it quickly, so I wonder how big their moat really is...

Would love to chat more about it!

Just finished it by giving it a few examples in 161 tokens. My feedback: on a phone getting the output in Chinese was really annoying. I had to translate in a different tab, and it would have been just as challenging in English? Fun game though, enjoyed it!
