Hey HN, happy to take feedback and answer questions here. Buyerbot is a Slack app to search Amazon and then request approval for purchases. Approved purchases then go into a shared shopping cart for the whole team. Managers can report on who requested what and who approved what.

I have a couple of features in the hopper but would love to get your feedback first to see if my planned improvements are on the right track.

Great FAQ, well explained, clear action buttons. And you don't have 'amazon' in the bot name which makes it more generic for the future.

It took me a bit to realize the voice in the video imitates Milton from the movie, I found it a bit hard to understand.

Our office uses https://www.amazon.com/gp/pantry/info to restock the kitchen cleaning utensils regularly for example, not sure if Amazon has special API calls for that or if regular orders/reminders are on your roadmap.

It looks like that may be possible to do, but Prime Pantry appears to be a slightly modified search on Amazon. I will add that to potential features to support in the future.

Does your team use a single Amazon login to add items to your group pantry cart?
