Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
Procurement Tools
Product research and procurement skills with a particular focus on technical specification conformance — does this part actually meet the requirement, and can you show your working. Marketplace-agnostic: spec definition from a vague want or a photograph, annotated search vocabulary, versioned spec-as-code, manufacturer datasheet retrieval, cross-region part-number equivalence, conformance evaluation matrices, bills of materials and RFQ packages. Plus the surrounding process: intake, research, compare, evaluate, recommend, market-check, spec-driven market landscape surveys, live price/delivery scanning through your own VPN egress, preference memory and hardware-rig profiling. Hands off to the marketplace-specific plugins (shopping, israel-shopping, amazon, aliexpress-israel-skills) once a question becomes about a particular shop.
AirShelf Catalog
Cross-vendor B2B catalog for AI agents: search, compare, find equivalents, request a quote.
