What they did
A Redditor had ChatGPT agent mode build and place a pickup order at a local supermarket while he worked. His only rules were to avoid red meat, lean healthy, and stay under $150.
How it went
He collected the order the next morning with no problems. Commenters had mixed results: one swapped a few items before checkout, and others said Walmart, BJ's and Amazon blocked the agent.
Worth knowing
- Many big grocery sites block agents. Check that your store works first.
- Review the cart before checkout. Commenters swapped items.
