Dropshipping Product Research Bot

Project Overview

The Dropshipping Product Research Bot is an automation tool designed to streamline the dropshipping process. Developed using UiPath, this bot automates the task of searching for products across popular e-commerce platforms like Amazon and BestBuy. It filters the search results by the lowest price, scrapes essential product data, performs sentiment analysis on customer reviews, and generates a comprehensive report. The report is then emailed to the user in PDF format, making it easier for dropshippers to make informed decisions quickly.
