AlexTheDealFinder is a voice-powered AI deal finder that turns a simple spoken request into real, actionable deals with prices and locations. The problem: Finding local promotions is painful. You open dozens of tabs, scroll through outdated listings, compare prices manually, and most "deal" sites are full of ads — not actual current offers. It's worse if you're in a new city and don't know where to look. AlexTheDealFinder fixes that in one sentence. Say "hamburgers in Chapinero" or "pizza deals in Austin" — and Alex instantly searches the live web, finds current promotions, and responds with business names, exact prices, and specific street addresses. All by voice, in seconds. How it uses ElevenLabs: Alex runs entirely on ElevenLabs Conversational AI. The agent handles real-time voice input, processes the request, triggers tool calls, and delivers natural spoken responses. The full experience is voice-first — users never need to type. How it uses Firecrawl: Every request triggers Firecrawl Search to crawl the live web for current promotions, menu prices, and business details. Alex uses an escalating search strategy — starting with the specific neighborhood, then broadening to the city, then trying menu-based searches — ensuring users always get useful results. The search adapts language automatically based on the user's city. What makes it different: Alex doesn't just return links. It searches, filters, and presents deals in a structured spoken format — name, deal, price, address — so you can act immediately. It works in any city worldwide, in multiple languages, and always presents results confidently. If nothing is found in your exact area, Alex transparently widens the search and tells you where the deals actually are. Stack: ElevenLabs Conversational AI + Firecrawl Search API + Streamlit
