AI Product Comparison Built From Scratch
A Kenyan price intelligence platform built from fragmented retail data in eight weeks.
The platform brings products from different online retailers into one comparison experience. Shoppers can discover products, compare specifications and pricing, assess which option fits their needs, and then continue to the listed retailer to complete their purchase. With no existing structured product feed or API available, AfriPixel built the data infrastructure and AI comparison engine from scratch.
The Challenge
Shoppers often have to visit multiple websites to compare the same type of product, switching between different layouts, specifications, and prices before deciding what to buy. The project set out to bring that research into one place, but there was no ready-made product feed or structured API to power the experience.
The goal:Aggregate product information from multiple retailers, make it comparable, and help shoppers make a decision before sending them to the retailer to buy.
How the intelligence works
Seller listings enter as unstructured pages. The system normalises products, compares price, delivery and fit, then sends the shopper to a verified retailer. AfriPixel built that pipeline from scratch because no product feed or API existed.

The Data Foundation
AfriPixel built a data pipeline to collect and organise product listings, specifications, prices and retailer details into a consistent, comparable format.
AI-Powered Comparison
The AI helps shoppers evaluate products side by side, compare key features and identify options that match their needs without visiting multiple retailer websites.

The Result
The system went from concept to a functioning AI-powered comparison platform in eight weeks. The result is a product discovery layer that brings listings from different retailers together, gives shoppers a single place to compare their options, and directs them back to the original retailer when they're ready to purchase.
One comparison layer. Every retailer. Eight weeks.
