Use Comet to fill a grocery cart and check deals
One user had Comet browse a messy grocery site from a list, while another set it to email daily job leads.
- What they did
- A user handed Comet a shopping list, then logged into their grocery account in a separate tab and asked it to look for discounts. Comet worked through a hard-to-use store site and pulled up item choices. The user treated it as a first step toward turning weekly groceries into a one-prompt task.
- How it went
- They said the grocery run was good enough and quicker than doing it by hand because the site was so awkward to use. The account had to already be signed in in another tab, and the setup was done on a regular Pro plan. Another user also said they set Comet to send them job leads each day, and that ran smoothly.
- Tips
- For shopping, keep the account logged in before you start and ask the agent to stop before checkout. For any task that would place an order or send something, have it show you the final details first.
