LLMs are not a good tool for processing data like this. They would be good for presenting that data though.

    Llms are excellent at consuming web data.

    Not if you want to ensure the validity of the compiled coupons/discounts. A custom algorithm would be best but data standardization would be the main issue, regardless of how you process it.

    What does validity mean in this case? A functionary LLM can follow links and make actions. I'm not saying it's not "work" to develop your personal bot framework, but this is all doable from the home PC, with a self hosted llm

    Edit and of course you'll need non LLM code to handle parts of the processing, not discounting that

    The LLM doesn't do that though, that the software built around it that does that which is what I'm saying. Its definitely possible to do, but the bulk of the work wouldn't be the task of the LLM.

    Edit: forgot to address validity. By that I mean keeping a standard format and ensuring that the output is actually true given the input. Its not impossible, but its something that requires careful data duration and a really good system prompt.

    Llms are great for scraping data

    LLMs don't scrape data, scrapers scrape data. LLMs predict text.
