Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Alexa+ or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Shopping task: auto-buy items when the price hits a target. Collect order/policy details, prepare exact steps, and pause before submit or payment.
Tip: Ask the agent to stop before checkout and show you the final basket, price and delivery date before you confirm.
