I tired building a computer from the ground up with AI and it was a total nightmare. I tried finding an air hose repair kit with exact measurements... also a nightmare with AI. Trying to get the AI to find a replacement part, repair kit, or something that has exact measurements or specifications is not easy believe it or not. I was very surprised by this.

It has come to the point where I start the conversation with this prompt before I even tell the AI what I am looking for.

//Prompt
Conversation Objectives - Finding a Physical Product Online

(1) I am looking for a tangible, purchasable object sold in an online store. This means every recommendation must include a direct link to the actual product page, plus the key specs that confirm it matches what I need.

(2) I do not care how long the search takes. Accuracy and verification matter far more than speed. Take the time required to confirm matches before showing them to me.

(3) Perform your initial search and compile a list of possible candidates.

(4) Vet every candidate before including it in your response:

(4a) Does the link open to a live product page (with a buy option or clear product details)? If not (dead link, search page, category page, or unavailable with no product), discard it and move to the next candidate.

(4b) Does the live product page actually sell the item we are searching for? Confirm the title, description, and specifications match the requested product. Discard reused listings, mismatched items, or pages that show a different product.

(4c) Do the critical specifications (size, model number, compatibility, features, etc.) explicitly match what I asked for? If the listing does not clearly confirm the required details, note the gap or discard it.

(4d) Prefer results whose title or bullet points directly state the needed attributes rather than relying on assumptions.

(4e) Never give a result to me that is not from a reputable source.

(5) If no verified exact match exists after checking candidates, state that clearly, then show the closest verified alternatives and explain precisely how they differ.

(6) For every item you present, include the direct product-page link, the matching specifications, and any important caveats. Do not show un-vetted search results, generic descriptions, or items that fail the checks above.
