Neural FAQ

Everything you need to know about the CartLens protocol, the Geospatial Lattice, and Sovereign State data management.

What is CartLens?

Most people shop with no idea whether a price is fair. CartLens fixes that. Scan a price tag at the shelf or a receipt after checkout, from any store and any category, and get an instant verdict: is the price fair, and where nearby is cheaper? Powered by the Geospatial Lattice, a live price index built from real receipts, from real shoppers near you.

How does the Vision-to-State heuristic work?

Simply point your camera at a price tag or receipt. Our multimodal AI (Gemini) extracts SKU and price fragments with surgical precision, converting raw pixels into active inventory state.

What is the Geospatial Lattice?

The Lattice is our global network of crowdsourced price nodes. It allows you to simulate your entire shopping basket across local merchants to find the absolute lowest total cost.

Is my data private?

Yes. We follow the Sovereign Protocol: your data is anonymized before being shared with the lattice, and you maintain full control with one-click export or permanent identity decommissioning.

How do I earn credits?

Archive your own trips with a receipt from the last 7 days. You earn 1 credit when a trip beats the best nearby price, 1 when you share the first price for a product at a store, 1 when you update a store price older than 30 days, and 3 for archiving a trip 4 weeks in a row. Price tags and product photos count once they’re on the receipt; typed items need a photo of their price tag. Credits never expire and pay for Basket IQ route plans. See them under Your Impact on the dashboard.

What are the membership tiers?

We offer Free (scanning and basic tracking, with 3 archived trips every 30 days), Pro ($6.99/mo - unlimited trips, cloud vault & audits), and Ultra ($9.99/mo - Full Assistant & Global IQ) plans to suit different levels of optimization.
