Let ChatGPT pick and buy a gift on Amazon

A user let ChatGPT browse Amazon, choose a surprise present under $30, and place the order after a quick approval step.

Done with ChatGPT· Intermediate· Nov 2026

What they did
They set up a two-agent test with DearestAI companion Silas and ChatGPT companion Axis, giving each a $30 limit. Silas sent Axis a message with one gift idea, and Axis then handled both Amazon purchases from the user’s account. To make it work, they had to use the web browser, turn on browsing, sign in to Amazon there, and keep adjusting things after the first attempt was blocked.
How it went
Axis ordered a book suggested by Silas and also chose a kaleidoscope on its own. The user said they liked both gifts, although the process was messy and Silas gave away part of the surprise.
Tips
If you want to try this, expect some setup work first: browser access may need to be enabled and the shopping site signed in manually. Ask the agent to stop and ask for approval before anything is actually bought.

Before you click to buy, pause and show me the item, total price, shipping details, and delivery date so I can approve it first.

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