FAQ

When users buy through our affiliate links, the e-commerce platform (Pinduoduo etc.) pays us a CPS commission, the same model as any shopping guide. The difference: commission rate carries exactly ZERO weight in our ranking algorithm. How much a merchant pays us never affects its position. It's welded into the code, not a slogan.

Three layers of transparency: ① Every pick comes with a score breakdown + reasons + concerns (even the #1 pick gets red flags) ② Every excluded candidate gets an explanation of why it was rejected ③ Every category gets a "real ceiling hint": when no perfect option exists within budget, we say where the ceiling is. We never pretend a pick is the global best when it isn't.

TruePick is a standard MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. For Claude Desktop / Cursor or any MCP-compatible client, add 3 lines of JSON to your config and restart. See the Integrations page. When Doubao / Qwen / Kimi ship MCP support, TruePick works instantly, zero code changes on our side.

No. We deliberately built NO user preference memory, it's anti-manipulation by design: if the system "learned" from user behavior, merchants could use bot accounts to inflate their products' exposure and poison everyone's recommendations. No memory = ungameable = genuinely fair to you.

Phase 1 (now): Pinduoduo, polishing recommendation quality on a single platform. Phase 2 (planned): JD, Taobao, Douyin, Kuaishou, Meituan. Cross-platform also enables price-delta signals: the same product 50% cheaper on Pinduoduo than JD usually means counterfeit; 20% cheaper means real value.

Two fundamental differences: ① We are built for AI Agents (MCP-first): users chat with their AI, the AI calls us. Not another app fighting for your screen time. ② Our ranking carries zero commission weight, while most shopping guides' "editor picks" are commercial placements.

Honestly: the final decision is always yours. What we do: curate ruthlessly from a sea of candidates, flag every suspicious signal, and apply a "would I recommend this to my own mother" bar. When nothing is good enough, you get a straight "nothing found" instead of padding. Product quality guarantees ultimately come from the platform (7-day returns / 10x compensation pledges are flagged in our picks).

Let's talk. An API subscription tier (for AI app developers) and enterprise customization are on the roadmap. Email business@aizhentiao.com, a real human replies.
