Why it matters
Comparing products, prices and delivery options is slow work for a human and fast work for an agent. Cases like this show agents doing the legwork before anything gets bought. It is one of 65 sightings filed under Shopping on Agent Sightings (number 52 by interest), and one of 85 involving Grok Bot.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Grok Bot or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Find the best legitimate price for this product and prepare the checkout steps. Do not submit payment or store card details until I explicitly approve the final order summary.
Tip: Ask the agent to stop before checkout and show you the final basket, price and delivery date before you confirm.
