Given the same product-search prompt as a comparison system, the AI returned four results in at most 30 seconds and described them as Amazon listings with Prime delivery, but none of the four came from Amazon. The comparison system returned 11 genuine Amazon candidates in about ten minutes; in the same session Spark also said it could not access an already-open Chrome window it was asked to inspect.

Scan my finances and switch my Hulu plan to fit my family's usage

Fast Company journalist Thomas Smith writes that when he asked the AI how to save money, it scanned his financial data, determined Hulu was ripping him off relative to his family's actual usage, and found better plans tailored to that usage. He reports the switch saved him $80 per month.
