What it does

CartLens is a high-fidelity, AI-powered shopping companion designed to transform physical shopping artifacts into structured digital intelligence. We bridge the high-friction gap between physical receipts and digital financial tracking using a cost-optimized, multimodal AI stack. Most consumers suffer from "Spending Blindness"—they know where they spent money, but they have no unified, product-level visibility into what they bought and how those prices fluctuate across different merchants.

CartLens is an AI shopping app that scans any receipt or price tag to instantly reveal if you overpaid and find cheaper local prices from real shoppers.

Scan any receipt or price tag. In seconds, CartLens tells you whether you overpaid — and exactly where nearby is cheaper. Real prices from real shoppers near you. Any store. Any category. Scan a price tag, compare stores, or audit your full spending — CartLens gives you every tool to make sure you never overpay again. Any store. Any category. Full native support for 11 languages — shop in your own language, currency, and units wherever you are. Zero-friction travel. Cross a border and the app instantly adapts: new currency, new language. Built-in GDPR/CCPA compliance and SOC2 Type II security. You own your data. Download your entire shopping history and Spending DNA in a localized JSON…from cartlens.co

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
