Check every shipped order for a price drop automatically

A Reddit poster set up the AI to trigger on every order/shipped email in Gmail: it opens each product page, compares the current price with what he paid, checks the store's price-drop policy window, and drafts a refund request without sending it. He notes most checks find nothing, but the ones that hit are money he would have missed.

How it works

  1. Order or shipping email arrives in Gmail
  2. The AI opens each product page
  3. Compares current price with the price paid
  4. Checks whether the store has a price-drop policy and its window
  5. If he qualifies, drafts a request with order number and both prices
  6. Stops and notifies him instead of submitting

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent lies in wait on his inbox and re-checks prices after every purchase, claiming refunds nobody remembers to claim.
