Chip, the shopping text line that tells you when to buy

Field notes

Chip’s visible workflow starts with an SMS containing a product link or price, then compares the exact SKU and configuration across stores and resale conditions. Its example moves from a $349 listing to a $299 alternative and applies 4% Rakuten cashback to show an effective $287.04 price. The page also says Chip can weigh deal heat and advise the shopper to buy, wait, or pass, while noting that prices and rates change.
