Have a computer-use agent place delivery orders

A personal agent moved through grocery and food delivery apps, then let the user verify the order before it was sent.

Done with Custom agentยท Intermediate

What they did
The user gave Super the store or restaurant, the exact products, and instructions for swaps, stored address details, and payment info. Super then operated the app on the computer, using the interface to build the order and stopping for a final check of the basket, total, address, and delivery estimate. Once the first order worked, the user had it keep that workflow for repeat use and later ran the saved version again through its computer-use memory.
How it went
No timing or cost gains were reported. The writeup said grocery purchases are especially good candidates for repeat runs, but warned that app redesigns can disrupt stored workflows. It also said the address and payment details still need confirmation each time.
Tips
Use the first attempt as a test run, since settings like tip defaults and delivery instructions may carry over. Recheck saved orders now and then, because menu updates and app changes can cause them to fail.

Try it yourself with Claude computer use

Open [delivery app name] on my computer and order [food items or groceries] from [restaurant or store] for delivery to [address]. Apply these preferences: [substitution rules, budget, delivery notes]. Pause before checkout and show me the final cart, total, address, and arrival window. Do not place the order, pay, or submit anything until I approve. If this order works, save it as a reusable template for future orders.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
