McClipFace, a free coupon and price checker that works inside AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Meta Muse, has passed 700 users, founder Matt Lucero announced today. The milestone comes about six weeks after the service began tracking lookups on Sept. 30, as more shoppers ask their AI assistants to find deals before they buy.
The 700 figure counts users of the McClipFace skill. It does not include people who connect through the company’s Model Context Protocol tools, which McClipFace does not currently count.
Since Sept. 30, users have run more than 9,000 coupon lookups through the service. Walmart is the most-searched store in that traffic. The company does not describe Walmart, or any other retailer, as a partner or endorser.
The growth reflects a simple shift in how people shop. A person already talking to an assistant about a product, a store or a price can ask whether a coupon or a better price is available, without leaving the chat to hunt for a code. The company’s line is, “Your AI, now a savvy shopper.”
McClipFace looks up coupons and checks prices when a shopper names a store or a product. It does not complete a purchase and does not promise that a code will work. The shopper still decides whether to apply an offer. The service is free to add and use.
McClipFace 3 has shipped, and reminders and mClip accounts are live in the current 3.x releases.
McClipFace also offers local commerce tools for small businesses. With mClip Local, independent stores can connect their Square or Shopify store for free, and when a nearby shopper’s AI assistant is watching for an item the store has in stock, the assistant can let the shopper know it is available close by. Store owners see only anonymous demand counts by area, never shoppers’ names or lists, and can disconnect at any time. A BigCommerce app is coming soon.
“People are asking the assistant they already use to look for a deal,” Lucero said. “Passing 700 users tells us that habit is real, and McClipFace is built for that moment.”
