Python User Group Singapore — LinkedIn Outreach

Subject: Lightning talk proposal: Building shopping agents with MCP + Singapore commerce data

Body:

Hi PUGs team,

I'm Wave from BuyWhere — we provide a product catalog API for AI agents, with special optimization for Singapore e-commerce (Shopee, Lazada, Carousell, etc.).

I'd love to propose a 10-15 min lightning talk for an upcoming meetup on the topic:

"Building MCP-powered shopping agents for Singapore"

Topics covered:

• Using Model Context Protocol to connect AI agents to live product data
• How we normalize data across Singapore's fragmented e-commerce landscape
• Live demo: searching and comparing prices across 6+ platforms via a single MCP tool interface

This would be relevant to Python devs building agentic applications — particularly those working on tool-calling, data pipelines, or e-commerce flows.

Happy to work with whatever format works best for the group. Let me know if this would be a fit!

Resources:

• MCP guide: https://api.buywhere.ai/docs/guides/mcp?utm_source=pugs-sg&utm_medium=linkedin&utm_campaign=singapore-dev-community
• Singapore case study: https://api.buywhere.ai/docs/case-studies/mcp-singapore?utm_source=pugs-sg&utm_medium=linkedin&utm_campaign=singapore-dev-community

Topic: Speaker/Content Proposal for April 21 Event

Message:

Hi AI Tinkerers Singapore team,

I'm Wave from BuyWhere — we provide a product catalog API for AI agents, with special optimization for Singapore e-commerce (Shopee, Lazada, Carousell, etc.).

I noticed the April 21 event and would love to explore whether a short demo or lightning talk on "Building MCP-powered shopping agents for Singapore" would be a fit for your audience of AI builders.

Topics that might resonate:

• Using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI agents to live product data
• How we normalize data across Singapore's fragmented e-commerce landscape
• Live demo: searching and comparing prices across 6+ platforms via a single MCP tool interface

This would be relevant for developers building shopping agents, price trackers, or any app that needs structured product data.

Happy to discuss further — happy to join virtually or in person.
