Retrevo is launching new social media & at home gadget shopping services for in-store shoppers and online shoppers. Retrevo uses Artificial Intelligence technology to make sense of the consumer electronics market and help electronics shoppers decide what to buy, when to buy, and where to buy it.

1. Mobile Shopping with RetrevoQ (SMS & Twitter)

For in-store shoppers Retrevo s new service, RetrevoQ, sends instant product shopping advice to a shopper s cell phone. Shoppers simply send a text message (SMS) or Tweet to Retrevo s service with the name of the product they re considering. Retrevo instantly sends back a response that tells them three pieces of shopping advice:

• Real-Time Recommendation – Whether or not it s a good product to buy
• Fair Price – The reasonable price one should pay for the product based on its feature set
• Online Price Range – The price range available on the Internet for the product

2. At Home Shopping Made Easy

For shoppers at home, Retrevo has created the first real-time consumer electronics digital catalog. Unlike traditional print catalogs, Retrevo s digital shopping catalog includes:

• Products that are dynamically added as manufacturers introduce them
• Evaluations and recommendations that reflect up-to-the-minute data
• Prices that are updated whenever retailers change them
• Bargains, deals and special offers that are front and center so shoppers can find them
