Use case overview
Author used ChatGPT Agent to reorder an item from a photo of its wrapper, handling the whole Amazon purchase until Amazon blocked agents.
Reported experience
What they did
The author photographed a wrapper from an item they wanted again and told ChatGPT Agent to buy a new one on Amazon. The agent then handled the whole purchase process from that photo and instruction. The source gives no further detail on the steps or on where the author stepped in.
How it went
It worked well until Amazon blocked ChatGPT Agent, which ended the workflow. The author then began shopping at other retailers instead.
Worth knowing
Amazon blocked the agent, so this may no longer work there; the author's own guess is that agents cheaply compare listings and pick the cheapest.
