Implementation

Step 1: Search Slickdeals

Use ollama_web_fetch to retrieve search results:

https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?q=URL_ENCODED_QUERY&searcharea=deals&searchin=first

Step 2: Verify Each Deal is Active

CRITICAL: Before presenting any deal, you MUST verify it is currently active.

For each search result:

Fetch the individual deal page using ollama_web_fetch
Check for expiration indicators:
- "expired" or "deal has expired" text on the page
- "currently unavailable" or "out of stock" on the retailer page
- Deal posted date older than 30 days (likely expired)
Only include deals confirmed as active in your output
If no deals are active, say so explicitly — do NOT show expired deals

Step 3: Parse Active Deals

Extract from confirmed-active deals:

Deal title
Current price vs original price
Discount percentage
Store name
Deal score (thumbs up/down)
Direct link to deal
Any coupon codes required

Step 4: Format Output

Present only active deals in a clean table format:

Deal	Price	Discount	Store	Score	Link
Title	$XX ($YY)	50% off	Amazon	+15	[URL]

If no active deals are found, respond:

No active deals found for [query]. The most recent deals have expired. I'll keep an eye out — want me to set up a deal alert?

Rules

ACTIVE DEALS ONLY: Never show expired deals. If the deal page says "expired" or the retailer shows "unavailable", exclude it entirely
Verify before presenting: Fetch each deal page to confirm it's still live
Be honest about availability: If nothing is active, say so — don't pad results with stale deals
Deal score: Higher thumbs up = better verified deal
Comments: Read comments for coupon codes or price match tips
Store filter: Results often include Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg, etc.
Post date awareness: Deals older than ~30 days are very likely expired — prioritize recent deals

Limitations

Slickdeals is a community-driven site; deals may expire quickly
Some deals require store-specific coupons or subscriptions (Amazon Prime, etc.)
Regional availability may vary

Example Queries

Notes

MANDATORY: Verify every deal is active before showing it. Expired deals waste the user's time
If most/all results are expired, try a broader search or check current retailer prices via web search
Include the store name and any coupon codes required
Mention if the deal requires membership (Prime, etc.)
When Slickdeals search returns no active deals, supplement with current retail pricing from Amazon/Best Buy/etc.
