Compare products and stage cart picks on Amazon
A browser agent searched Amazon for coffee makers with built-in grinders, compared five options, and placed two in the cart without checking out.
- What they did
- A DreamHost tester gave Perplexity Comet a single plain-English job: visit Amazon, find coffee makers under $100 that also grind beans, make a top-five comparison, and put two choices in the cart using a New York address. Comet read the shopping results, assembled a table with prices, and selected two products to add.
- How it went
- The run finished as intended. It reached the cart and did not try to complete the purchase, which the testers counted as the right stopping point.
- Tips
- This kind of agent can handle searching and shortlisting, but checkout steps are where browser agents often fail. Ask it to pause before any final action so you can finish the purchase yourself.
