Pius Bot is the AI shopping assistant from products.ai. It helps you choose the right product, explains why it fits you and tells you where to buy it, in 20 countries and in the AI apps you already use.
You tell Pius what you’re looking for. It checks 100+ sources, from the catalog and buying guides to reviews and forums, and picks one product, with a shop that has it in stock and delivers to you. For every claim it shows where it comes from. Asking is free, there are no ads in the answer, and commission never picks the product.

What products.ai does
Pius Bot
A chat for the things you buy. Ask in plain words and get one clear pick, why it fits you, what to watch for, a one-line why not for each alternative, and the shop to buy it from. Free to use, and with Beast mode ($15 a month or $120 a year) Pius Bot digs much deeper.
products.ai in your AI (MCP)
The same picks inside Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any other AI app that connects to MCP servers. You request access and get your own MCP URL; a person in Amsterdam reads every request.
The products.ai API
The picks Pius makes and their reasons as data, for businesses that build shopping features. Every product is matched by barcode: why it fits, why not the others, and the shop to buy it from, with stock and delivery. Access is by request.
What makes products.ai different
01
One pick with reasons, not a long list
Pius Bot shortlists, weighs each product on what matters to you and names one. Every product it passed on gets a one-line reason, so you see what it considered without reading twenty product pages yourself.
02
No paid placement in the answer
The answer from Pius carries no ads, free or in Beast mode, and shops cannot pay to be picked. Affiliate links are added only after Pius has chosen, and every one is flagged.
03
The exact product, matched by barcode
A general chatbot such as ChatGPT answers from web pages and what it learned in training, so it can mix up the Sony WH-1000XM4 and the XM5. Pius matches every product by its GTIN barcode, so the specs and the shops it names belong to exactly that model.
04
100+ sources behind every answer
Pius reads the catalog, buying guides, reviews, forums, news and recalls first, and only then looks for a shop that can deliver the product. The travel headphones answer on our home page ran 214 checks, and every claim in a report links to its source.
05
Local shops first, in 20 countries
Shops across 20 countries and 11 currencies, checked in real time. Pius picks from the shops in your own country first, ones that have the product in stock and deliver to you. A shop abroad can still show up, with its delivery time, marked Not picked.
Who uses products.ai
Shoppers who research before they buy: headphones, coffee machines, laptops, anything where the wrong pick costs time or a return.
People who would rather not spend evenings on reviews, forums and product pages, and want one reasoned pick with a shop that can deliver it.
Users of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI apps who want product advice grounded in real product data, inside the assistant they already use.
Businesses building a shopping assistant, a product finder or an AI agent that needs product data matched by barcode.
Publishers and apps that want to earn from affiliate programs without letting commission decide what they recommend.
The team behind products.ai
products.ai is built by Birds B.V., a company in Amsterdam. The first thing Pius Bot reads is our own product catalog, in which every product is matched by barcode to the shops that sell it.
Every request for API or MCP access is read by a person in Amsterdam, not by a bot.
