Reported experience

  1. What they did

    In a chat with Alexa for Shopping, the user taps the "+" icon by the message bar and creates a Scheduled Action. Examples are adding healthy kids' snacks to the cart each month and restocking pet food, paper towels and detergent. Conditions can be added, such as adding sunscreen if the price falls to $10 and it hasn't been bought in two months. Alexa does the product research, then either notifies the user or adds items to the cart.

  2. How it went

    The source gives no results or measurements, since it is a launch announcement. The user still reviews the cart and checks out. It can run once or on a recurring schedule.

  3. Worth knowing

    The agent only fills the cart or sends a notification, and checkout stays manual. It is free for U.S. Amazon customers, with no Prime membership or Echo required.

Example prompts
