The first Sears catalog was published in 1888 and only sold watches and jewelry. Eventually, the catalog sold different items for “The Lowest Prices on Earth,” including mail-order houses. Now, most shopping has moved online, and AI agents like mate (with 200k merchant partnerships built in by an experienced team) can generate discounts for you just by texting from your phone. It was built in the same spirit as the original Sears catalog, getting people the lowest prices they could find for anything they need.
