Catalog pricing drifts while you aren't looking
You set prices six months ago. Three products got slight cost increases from suppliers, but you forgot to adjust retail. One product you marked as "premium" is now being undercut by a competitor who copies your product line. Two items are oddly cheap because you priced them the day you were hungover. Nobody is watching the whole catalog's price sanity.
A proper competitive-pricing tool costs €100+/month. It pulls live competitor data. It's overkill if you just want a second opinion on whether your €24 olive oil looks roughly market-rate.
What most people do instead
A better way: AI as a second pair of eyes
Run ai analyze product prices. TrueCommander pulls up to 20 published products, name + current price each, and asks AI to suggest increase, decrease, or no change with a brief reason. AI uses general market knowledge, not live competitor data, so treat it as a sanity check and a prompt for further investigation, not a final answer.
Shown in advanced mode, where commands start with tp. In easy mode you type the same command without the tp prefix.
AI doesn't see live competitor prices. The suggestions come from general market knowledge, broad and often accurate, but not real-time pricing intelligence. Treat outputs as prompts for investigation: "should I check what my competitors actually charge for this?", not as drop-in replacements for a €24 product with a €31 recommendation.
How it works
WooCommerce is required. The handler runs WP_Query for up to 20 published products. For each, it pulls name and current price via wc_get_product(). It builds a prompt listing all 20 with their prices and the store's currency, asking AI to respond in a strict Current price: <price> <currency>. <name> - suggestion: <reason> format. The response renders in the navigator.

Real example
You run a specialty-goods store with ~150 SKUs. You haven't audited prices in nine months. You run ai analyze product prices on a Monday morning. AI flags three obvious miscalibrations: a €68 balsamic vinegar at 100ml that's unusually high unless DOP-certified (it isn't, you priced it wrong), a €24 single-estate olive oil that's "premium" in positioning but priced like a supermarket SKU, and a €9 salt tin that should probably be higher given its origin story on the product page.
You spend 30 minutes checking competitor prices on the three flagged items, not trusting AI's guess, but following its lead. Two of the three adjustments stick: the balsamic drops to €42, the olive oil goes up to €31. Margins recalibrate. You rerun the command in a month as a sanity check.
