πŸ€– Smart Sourcing Agent: Your AI Procurement Officer

Automated B2B Sourcing, Supplier Verification & Risk Auditing

Stop scraping. Start sourcing.

The Smart Sourcing Agent is not just a data collector; it is an autonomous AI Procurement Officer. It orchestrates a global search across Alibaba, DHgate, Made-in-China, and IndiaMART, audits suppliers for risk, and delivers a vetted, purchase-ready shortlist.

Designed for serious FBA sellers, TikTok Shop creators, drop-shippers, enterprise procurement teams, interior designers (FF&E), and anyone else who needs verifiable trust signals, not just raw links.


TL;DR

This is an autonomous B2B procurement engine that replaces manual supplier vetting with an agentic AI workflow. It orchestrates parallel, asynchronous searches across Alibaba, DHgate, Made-in-China, and IndiaMART to deliver actionable intelligence.

Core Capabilities

  • Semantic Intent Resolution: Uses Gemini 3.0 to translate vague inputs (text, video, images) into precise industrial search queries (e.g., "Yoga Mat" $\rightarrow$ "TPE, SGS Certified").
  • Forensic Audit Layer: An LLM evaluates raw data for risk, cross-referencing pricing and tenure to generate a Confidence Score (1-10), filtering out low-quality "Gold" suppliers.
  • Deep Verification: Bypasses WAFs to perform "Deep Visits," verifying exact MOQs and pricing on target pages.
  • Value: Automates the role of a junior sourcing officer. For ~$3.00–$5.00 per run, it outputs a normalized, ranked JSON dossier of top suppliers.

⚑ The "Purchase-Ready" Promise

Most tools dump a spreadsheet of 1,000 links and wish you luck. We deliver a decision.

πŸš€ Enterprise-Grade Capabilities

1. πŸ” Global Market Orchestration

We don't rely on a single source. The agent spins up parallel workers to simultaneously negotiate the catalogs of the world's largest B2B repositories:

  • Alibaba (China/Global)
  • DHgate (Small Batch/Wholesale)
  • Made-in-China (Industrial/Factory)
  • IndiaMART (Textiles/Pharmaceuticals/Industrial)

2. 🧠 Gemini 3.0 "Forensic" Audit

Powered by Google's Gemini 3.0, the agent acts as a forensic auditor. It analyzes product descriptions, supplier tenure, transaction history, and specification sheets to calculate a Confidence Score (1-10).

  • Detects: Price anomalies (Too good to be true?), mismatched specs, and unverified "Gold" suppliers.
  • Delivers: A "Primary Recommendation" that has passed a multi-step sanity check.

3. πŸŽ₯ Multi-Modal Sourcing (Video & Image)

Don't have the technical jargon?

  • Video-to-RFQ: Upload a TikTok or YouTube product demo. The AI watches the video, identifies the mechanism/materials, and searches for the manufacturer.
  • Image Forensics: Upload a competitor's product image. The AI reverse-engineers the ODM/OEM source.

4. πŸ›‘οΈ The "Gold Match" Verification

The agent performs a "Deep Visit" on the top candidates. It navigates to the actual product page (bypassing anti-bot measures), reads the full technical specifications, and verifies they match your targetMoq and maxPrice constraints 100%.


🧠 How It Works

  1. Intent Extraction: You provide a vague request ("High-end yoga mats") or media. The AI expands this into technical sourcing terms ("TPE, Non-slip, Laser engraved, SGS certified").

  2. Global Sweep: We execute a 4-platform parallel search, retrieving raw candidates in seconds.

  3. Financial & Spec Normalization: Currency is converted to USD. Titles are rewritten from "spam-ese" (e.g., "HOT 2025 FAST SHIP") to professional ERP-ready names.

  4. AI Audit & Ranking: The Ranker evaluates suppliers based on trust signals, not just price.

  5. Final Report: You receive a detailed dossier on the top 10 survivors.
