Once connected (see setup above), use the Style Finder tool:
- Prepare a list of products to find dupes for with budget targets
- Ask: "Use style-finder with find_dupe to find alternatives for each product at the specified budgets"
- OpenClaw returns structured dupe data for all products
- Normalize to a stable schema with original_item, dupe_name, price, similarity_attributes, and buy_url
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Style Finder tool
Use style-finder with find_dupe to find alternatives for these items: Aesop face serum under £20, Smeg toaster under £50, and Patagonia fleece under £60. Return stable JSON with original_item, dupe_name, brand, price, currency, similarity_attributes, and buy_url for each.
Tips
- Lock the schema before your first batch run so all product dupe results are directly comparable
- Tag each record with the original_item name so results can be filtered and displayed per source product
- Schedule periodic refresh runs to update prices and availability as dupe products change
