Use Claude to compare Raspberry Pi parts on Amazon

They asked Claude to browse Amazon for Raspberry Pi parts, compare a few accessory choices, and fill the basket without placing an order.

What they did
A developer set up Claude’s browser control on a Mac and gave it the permissions it needed to operate the screen. They told it to shop for components for a Home Assistant voice setup on Amazon and to pay attention to review ratings. Claude searched listings, then checked back to ask whether a basic USB mic and speaker setup or a ReSpeaker HAT was the better fit before adding items to the cart.
How it went
The basket ended up with parts that matched the project and had good reviews, and the whole run took about 15 minutes. The developer noted that doing the same shopping manually would have been quicker, and the task stopped repeatedly when Claude hit tool-call limits until they pressed Continue.
Tips
Keep the Amazon account signed out so the agent stays away from anything irreversible. Treat this as a Mac-only preview feature for Pro and Max users, and expect to steer it through pauses and limits.
