Specs, compatibility and trade-offs, explained in plain language
Electronics shoppers compare spec sheets they don’t fully understand and worry about whether a product will work with what they own. Aria translates specs into what matters for their use, checks compatibility against your catalog, and finds alternatives when the budget is tight.
I saw a monitor on your website that I really like, but I'm not sure if it'll work with my MacBook Air. Could you check?
The ViewPro 27 USB-C is fully compatible with your MacBook Air M2. You can connect it with a single USB-C cable, run it at its full 2560×1440 resolution and charge your MacBook at the same time.
The questions that stall an electronics purchase
Spec sheets list everything and explain nothing. Shoppers who can’t tell whether a product fits their setup either open ten tabs to compare, or buy something that doesn’t work and return it.
- They leave to compare elsewhere…and often buy from whoever answered first.
- They guess, and send it backA wrong shade, size or model is a return you pay for.
- They ask support…and wait for an answer to a question that was really a sale.

- 01
Starts from the use, not the spec
Asks what the product is for, what the shopper already owns and how much they want to spend.
I don't want to spend a fortune on it. I mostly need it for university, but I'd also like to play League of Legends sometimes when I have a break.
That helps narrow it down. League of Legends doesn't require a full gaming laptop, so you can avoid paying extra for something heavy and expensive. I'd look for a lightweight laptop with 16 GB of RAM and strong integrated graphics. These are the best matches:

Checks what matters
Verifies compatibility and the specs that matter for that use against your catalog data.
Do I need to buy an adapter?
No. The ViewPro 27 USB-C handles video and charging over USB-C, and the required cable is included in the box.
- 03
Compares and recommends
Explains the trade-offs between the realistic options and suggests the best fit, or a cheaper one that keeps what matters.
Can you compare these two?
For regular outdoor running, I'd recommend the OpenFit Air.

Questions about this use case
How Aria works with this kind of catalog.
It checks compatibility against the data in your catalog, such as ports, supported devices or standards. If the catalog doesn’t contain the answer, Aria says so instead of guessing.
Yes. Where your catalog links products to compatible accessories, Aria can suggest them as part of the conversation.
That’s where it helps most. During implementation we structure the attributes so that like-for-like comparisons between products are reliable.
If they’re part of your store policies, yes. Aria answers using the promotions and policies you configure.
