Find a toy and pause before placing the order
Operator searched for a gift for an 8-month-old, chose one within budget, and carried the user to Target’s checkout page.
- What they did
- Melina Flabiano asked Operator to look for a learning-focused toy for her baby, who was 8 months old. She gave it a $10–15 spending cap, wanted free shipping, and asked it to handle the purchase. Operator opened its browser, looked through toy options, chose one that matched the request, and took her to Target.com.
- How it went
- The agent located a toy that fit the age and price limits, but it did not finish buying it. Instead, it brought the user partway through the order flow so she could complete the remaining steps herself.
- Tips
- Use Operator to compare items and get to the retailer’s checkout page, but expect to take over before payment or final submission. Ask it to stop and show the selected item, total cost, and delivery details first.
