About

BetterCart opens a side panel while you shop on Instacart and helps you answer one simple question: "would this cart be cheaper somewhere else?"
                                                                    
WHAT IT DOES    
Reads the items in your active cart (without touching your identity or payment methods).                                     
Searches the same products across other retailers available in your zone.                                                        
Shows you a comparison with prices, estimated savings, and items it couldn't match.                                               
Chat with the agent to refine the search: "prefer organic", "skip premium retailers", "only dairy", etc.
                  
HOW IT WORKS                                                      
  1. Open Instacart.com and build your cart as usual.
  2. Click the BetterCart icon in the extensions bar to open the
  side panel.
  3. Ask the agent to compare your cart. The agent uses AI to reason
   over the options.                                                
  4. Get a summarized proposal showing where each item is cheapest.
                                                                    
PRIVACY         
We don't read your name, address, or payment methods.
Conversations are tied to your Google account email so you can resume them.
Your messages and cart data are processed through a third-party AI provider.
