AmazonBot

AmazonBot is a neat little robot/gadget made by “with Waves“, they describe  it as such:

AmazonBot is a robot and gadget – which enables social product research and shopping on Amazon.com. Wave participants can share products & reviews with contacts in real-time thanks to automatic queries by the AmazonBot against conversation keywords. The AmazonBot gadget can detect products and return inline product links or a custom full product browser.

Check out the video to see how AmazonBot works:

AmazonBot by WithWaves from Derek Punsalan on Vimeo.

On their site they give instructions on how to install the robot & gadget, how to search and how to install just the gadget. Make sure you visit their webpage at “with Waves“.

This is a really great little robot that shows just how easy it will be to monetize Google Wave. Imagine every website with their own robot. You are surfing along find a store or service that you interested. You install the robot and open up the wave to your fellow business partners and start discussing what you want. Imagine what can be done with wedding lists, Xmas lists, etc, etc.

This very small robot again shows what is possible. Great work guys! Keep it up.

Hi,
The idea is interesting, but it would be more interesting if the robot could figure out what was said in the wave and then made recomdendations for that.

Hi Daniel,

The robot actually does that in a way….
It figures keywords or things that could potentially be on the amazon store and auto links your conversation keywords.
We contemplated the idea of automatically showing products as the conversation goes on but found that some users would consider that intrusive.
We just released another bot and gadget for ebay and we’re about to release many improvements and new features in all of our bots.
