The AI found me a $147.99 whey deal at GNC, but the link was dead
In the same four agent test, the AI searched GNC, Amazon and Walmart for the same protein powder and pointed to a 10 pound bag at GNC for $147.99, about $0.92 an ounce. The link it gave led to a page not found error. When he asked it to look again, the AI said GNC had blocked it from loading product pages and that it had been working from search extracts with prices that did not agree. It also said it could not check Costco, Target or Bodybuilding.com.
This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.
How it works
- Give the AI the exact product and a target of under $0.90 an ounce
- It searches GNC, Amazon and Walmart
- It reports a 10 pound bag at GNC for $147.99, about $0.92 an ounce
- He opens the link and gets a page not found error
- Asked to look again, the AI says GNC blocked it from loading product pages and that its price came from search extracts that did not agree
Why it’s worth knowing
The price looked exact, down to the cent and the ounce. It was built on search extracts from a store that had already blocked the bot, and the product page did not exist.
