What they did

A couple shared their BabyList registry with Grok Bot, which checks the internet every day for good deals on the big-ticket items. It found the stroller they wanted for about 50% off at a reputable store they hadn't heard of. He gave it a Robinhood agentic credit card with limits, and it placed the order.

How it went

It found the stroller for about 50% off and placed the order on a limited card.

Worth knowing

Prompt

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

Here's our baby registry: [link]. Every day, check for real deals on the big-ticket items (over $[amount]): price, shipping, return policy, and whether the seller is reputable (reviews, how long they've been around). Message me only when something is at least [20]% below its usual price. Don't buy anything until I say yes, and then only with [the card I set up with a spending limit].

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.
