FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent search Best Buy's product catalog?

The agent uses Best Buy's Products API with filters for name, category, price range, and SKU. When a customer asks about products, the agent constructs queries dynamically, retrieves matching items with real-time pricing, and presents relevant options. Results are fetched live from Best Buy's catalog.

Can the agent check if a product is available at a specific store?

Yes. The agent combines the Products and Stores APIs to check in-store availability. It queries by product SKU and store ID or location, returning pickup availability status. Customers get accurate inventory information without calling stores.

What Best Buy API permissions does Tars need?

Tars needs a Best Buy Developer API key with access to Products, Stores, and Categories endpoints. Obtain your key from developer.bestbuy.com and enter it in your Tars dashboard. We use read-only access and never modify Best Buy data.

Does Tars store Best Buy product or pricing data?

No. Tars queries Best Buy's APIs in real-time during conversations. Product details, prices, and availability are fetched live and used only to respond to the current question. We do not cache or maintain a separate product database.

Can the agent handle questions about products not in Best Buy's catalog?

The agent only returns Best Buy inventory. If a customer asks about a product not found, the agent explains it may not be available at Best Buy and offers to search for alternatives or similar items in the catalog.

How is this different from Best Buy's website search?

Website search requires customers to navigate and filter results. Tars AI Agents have conversations, understanding questions like 'best wireless earbuds for running under $100' and returning curated answers. The agent interprets intent and delivers personalized recommendations conversationally.

What happens if Best Buy's API rate limits are reached?

Best Buy allows one API call per second. Tars manages request timing automatically. If limits are approached, the agent queues requests appropriately. High-volume implementations may need multiple API keys or Best Buy's enterprise access.

Can the agent show product images and links in responses?

Yes. Best Buy's API returns image URLs and product links. The agent can display product photos, include direct links to Best Buy product pages, and format responses with visual elements depending on your deployment channel.
