Reorder a photographed item on Amazon
They used ChatGPT Agent to identify a product from its wrapper photo and carry the Amazon purchase through until the retailer stopped it.
- What they did
- They took a photo of a wrapper from something they wanted again and asked ChatGPT Agent to find the same item on Amazon. The agent handled the buying flow from there, using the photo and the instruction to track down a match and move toward purchase.
- How it went
- The process worked for the author, but Amazon later blocked ChatGPT Agent, which cut off the workflow. After that, they switched to shopping with other retailers instead.
- Tips
- This may not work on Amazon anymore because the site blocked the agent. A cautious approach is to have the agent identify the item, compare listing options, and pause before checkout so you can review the match.
