I usually avoid shallow comments but I feel like this time it has to be said as a conversation starter: That's a lot of eggs!

Also ignoring the benefits of subscriptions, an estimate in the magnitude of thousands of dollars for extracting egg prices still makes me feel like we aren't "there" yet. This should have been a problem with a much more efficient solution given the advancements in the AI, data analysis and OCR space. I am sort of disillusioned.

There's got to be a "it's a chicken/egg problem" joke in there somewhere, but i'm not seeing it.

I actually was going to go for the "why did the chicken not cross the road?". Then I wanted to say "because it was in a price negotiation with the author to sell its eggs", but it was too wordy. Then I thought, "because the author had it as an egg before it could hatch", but it was too dark... Then I gave up.

Well, I guess you cannot make a chicken joke without breaking some eggs (I'll stop now. I'm really sorry, but come on, it's Sunday).

You’ve got two weeks to work on this before Eggster.

FWIW, you made an eggceptional attempt :).

Try a different vision model.

Less than one per day, assuming they're doing groceries only for themselves

I wouldn't read this as "AI can't do this efficiently yet" but more like "we're still figuring out the playbook"
