Add groceries, buy on Amazon, and price-shop flights
A commenter and their wife regularly use an AI agent to add items to Walmart grocery delivery orders, buy from Amazon, and compare flight prices.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- A commenter says he and his wife regularly use their AI agent for three shopping tasks: adding items to Walmart grocery delivery orders, buying from Amazon, and price-shopping flights. In this thread, though, he does not explain the setup, what access the agent had, what steps it took by itself, or where they approve or intervene.
- How it went
- The only outcome stated is that they use it regularly for those tasks. The post gives no results, savings, accuracy, booking details, or failures.
