Demo Truth and Validation
How Hunch Works (WebMCP-style)
Hunch discovers tools by scraping the DOM and interacting with forms/buttons directly - just like WebMCP. This means many capabilities work WITHOUT API extensions.
DOM-Based (No Extension Needed)
| Capability | How It Works |
|---|
| Product search | Extract product cards from DOM |
| Add to cart | Click add-to-cart buttons |
| Order lookup | Fill form → read result from page |
| Booking | Fill booking form → submit |
| Quote requests | Fill form → submit |
API-Based (Requires Extension)
| Capability | Extension | When Needed |
|---|
| Shopify cart | Shopify | Reliable add-to-cart on Shopify |
| Verified order status | Shopify/Woo | Verify ownership before showing order |
| Calendly booking | Calendly | Direct Calendly scheduling |
What Works Without Extensions
- Product search - DOM extraction ✅
- Add to cart - DOM click + Shopify/Woo fallback ✅
- Order lookup - Fills order form, reads page status ✅
- Booking forms - DOM fill + submit ✅
