What they did

Restaurant Business reporter Joe Guszkowski had Meta Muse order a pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut. It worked through its own browser and paid with Stripe's Link, but it took about 4.5 minutes, compared with about 40 seconds doing it himself. It also told him, from his email, when an Amazon package arrived.

How it went

A food order placed for you, at the cost of some speed.

Worth knowing

  • Journalist test. For simple orders the agent was much slower than doing it yourself. Check the total and any deals before paying.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Order [item] from [restaurant] for delivery to [address] by [time]. Use my saved payment. Apply any deal you find on the site. Before paying, show me the total with fees and tip.

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
