Shopping Bots

on the Internet, online purchasing assistants and applications have made
their appearance. More commonly known as "shopbots", these intelligent
agents help facilitate the purchasing process, therefore saving time and
money.
Most shopbots provide you with a list of companies
offering the best price and service for the product that you want.The first
shopbot (Bargain Finder), was developed in 1995 by Andersen Consulting,
and it was designed to help people find only musical CDs.

variety of products and services offered on the Internet. These intelligent
agents help you make the best choice when looking for CDs, DVDs, books,
computers, software, cars, etc, and they will become essential for online
