>to get me the best price

How do you know it's the best price ?

I mean, that's cool and all, but the numbers are really going to shift when it accidentally goes off and orders that same hardware from every vendor in your local region and the top 5 online results for comparison.

It's the same problem as all other LLM solutions (that I hope OpenAI is working on!) it's non-deterministic, and there's no way for the user (or model provider) to know what the distribution of possible outcomes is. This just gets compounded when multi-call harnesses come onto play.

its going to get worse though as cloudflare keeps blocking more and more

I‘m using mostly the browser automations for things like that now. Same for research - ChatGPT is banned from reading many pages, but Codex can read anything I can.

But isn’t it funny that Cloudflare is blocking AI on their pages, but on the other hand is researching and marketing things like „you can put a browser in a CF worker“

The sites that do that won't be getting money from my and others' agents. Guessing that's going to become more and more of a problem for those sites.

And yours and other's agents will probably remain an insignificant and invisible customer base anyway.

My crystal ball is as good as anyone's, but if "agentic shopping" ever becomes mainstream, you can be sure that the vast majority will ask their phone (i.e. Google, i.e. Google Shopping) what the best price is anyways.

Thanks. This is genuinely a cool usage example.

How did you run this? Web interface, desktop app, CLI?

How did you complete the final transaction?
