What they did

A Verge reviewer asked Meta Muse to find a replacement steam wand for her six-year-old Breville espresso machine, and later to buy descaler and water filters.

How it went

It found the wand and added it to a cart, and she finished that checkout herself. After she saved a card through Stripe, it bought the supplies on its own approval, found slightly better prices, and worked out that powdered descaler was the better value.

Worth knowing

  • She calls it 'shockingly easy' to spend money once a card is saved. Set a limit.
  • Amazon blocked the agent in her test.

Prompt

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.

Grok Bot Does the Food Shopping in Under 3 Minutes With a 3-Bot Team
