The Story Behind Pombli

Why we built an AI deal finder, where the name came from, and where we're headed. No corporate speak.

It started with a frustration

We wanted to buy a laptop. We opened 8 tabs from different stores. 30 minutes later we had a spreadsheet comparing prices. The next day, one of the prices had changed.

That's when we thought: **a machine should do this, not a person.**

The idea

What if you could talk to someone who already checked every store for you? Someone who knows what's on sale, what's a good price, and what's smoke. Not a salesperson trying to push something β€” a friend who knows prices.

That's Pombli.

What's with the frog?

Pombli is our mascot β€” a green frog that's always watching for the best moment to leap. Like a frog patiently waiting on its lily pad, Pombli monitors prices until it finds the perfect moment to tell you: "now's the time, buy it!"

Also, frogs are cool. We didn't need more reasons.

What we care about

**Keeping it real.** The prices we show are the actual prices. We don't inflate, hide, or sugarcoat.

**Keeping it free.** Stores pay us for referrals, not you. Your price is the same as going direct.

**Keeping it private.** We don't sell data. We don't track purchases. We don't know and don't want to know what you bought.

**Keeping it useful.** If our AI can't find you a better deal than what you'd find on your own, then we're not doing our job.

The team

We're a small crew of people who know technology and are passionate about e-commerce. We're not a mega corporation β€” we're real people who also shop online and get frustrated by the same problems you do.

What's coming

More stores, better recommendations, and tools to help you save without effort. We're just getting started.
