Set up a price watch that emails on drops

A commenter used ChatGPT to monitor product prices and send an email only when an item hits a target drop.

Done with ChatGPT Agent· Beginner

What they did
They created one recurring ChatGPT task with the schedule tool instead of making separate watches for every item. The agent checks US web stores for the listed products, then waits until a price reaches the chosen threshold before alerting them. They can also link a mail app so the notice arrives by email, and one other commenter said they grouped several home decor items into a single watch.
How it went
They said it was the kind of setup that stays useful because it only reaches out when there is a real discount. The thread did not give any savings figures or success-rate totals, and it mentioned plan caps on how many scheduled checks are allowed.
Tips
Bundling several items into one watch can help when your plan limits scheduled tasks. Keep the agent focused on alerting only, and verify the first prices it finds before relying on the watch.

Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent

Watch these items for price drops: [product names or links] at [retailers]. Check [daily/weekly] across US web stores and compare each price with [target price or percent drop]. If an item reaches the target, prepare an email alert to [email address]. Do not place orders, and pause to ask for my approval before sending any email or making any other irreversible action. First, show me the current price you found for each item and the alert rule you will use.

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