Buy my undershirts wherever they are cheapest, even if that means a different brand

Finance blogger Andrew told the AI he needed new undershirts. Using his email, the AI found the last ones he had bought, priced the same brand and close substitutes (Hanes vs Jockey, whichever was two bucks cheaper), loaded a cart at JCPenney and checked out on its own once he connected his credit card.

How it works

  1. Tell the AI he needs undershirts
  2. The AI reads his email for the last ones he bought
  3. Prices the same brand and similar substitutes across retailers
  4. Loads a JCPenney cart with the cheapest in his size
  5. Checks out and purchases once his card is connected

Why it’s worth knowing

It has no brand loyalty at all: shown his purchase history, it happily switched him from Hanes to Jockey because they were two dollars cheaper — and completed the checkout itself.
