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 59 by interest), and one of 29 involving ChatGPT.

How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into ChatGPT or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

Shopping task: generate LEGO CAD models in LDraw. 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.
