Hey there 👋
SUPER excited to announce the launch of my AI startup — Waldo 🎉
We all know airline fares, hotel rooms, and concert tickets frequently change in price. But what if I told you prices for sneakers, jeans, and laptops change just as often?
Waldo is artificial intelligence built to save you money on recent purchases when they drop in price by leveraging a hidden perk called price protection.
Waldo gets you money back from a diverse set of brands including Amazon, Patagonia, Best Buy, and Nordstrom just to name a few. Waldo works with over 100+ brands, with new ones added every day.
The best part — you don’t have to lift a finger. Funds are directly credited back to your credit card from the store.
We’re currently working on support for airlines, hotels, and so much more. Join us on our journey — and let us know where you would like to save more money.
And to celebrate our launch, we’re giving people a $10 bonus for each friend they refer 💸💸💸

Would recommend to a friend!
Pros:
This is so easy. Just set it and forget it, once a product you already bought goes on sale, more cash goes back into your pocket!
Cons:
Haven’t seen anything bad yet!

Feels like I had been forgetting to go the the free money drawer prior to signing up. Great product
Pros:
Simple to use and continues to work passively in the background for you
Cons:
Haven’t really found any yet

Very vague privacy wise, if they can read your emails, anybody in the company must have access to it. You need to send an email to delete your account... Do they delete the emails they've crawled afterwards?
Hey @pierrickgt , we have a page dedicated to our privacy available on our site here: https://www.getwaldo.com/privacy.... Also working on automating the account deletion. Appreciate the feedback

Pretty neat concept. Hard part is now keeping my online shopping to pre-Waldo levels. Just wanna see the numbers on the dashboard change

Waldo needs to access the user's mail to find the invoices of online shopping. It is not yet clear how this very sensitive data is processed by Waldo: is our data stored, who can access it?
I wrote a mail to delete my account to the given mail address three days ago and my mailtracker informs me that my mail has not been opened as of since. In conclusion: It may be the most useful service in the world, but at these conditions: no, thanks.
Pros:
Clean interface, interesting goal
Cons:
Not so much clear about privacy.
Account can be deleted only by sending a mail to their support.
Support does not reply in due time.
@markjordan30 Right now its just for US-based purchases/retailers. We're looking into adding UK support soon. Any UK-specific retailers you'd recommend we should look at?

@colin_ristig Amazon.co.uk is the first that comes to mind :)

Looking forward to reeeeeeeling in the dough!
Pros:
Waldo does everything for me. Having it is unbelievably pain free, and a simple cost/benefit analysis makes signing up a total no brainer.
Cool product. Would be interesting to see if we can do price prediction on retail.
Waylo(https://thewaylo.com) does price prediction on hotels only at the moment.
@kyunbit1 Great question: we're still in the early stages but we've prototyped a couple models that can do exactly this. More good stuff in the works!
Thanks for the feedback!
