Shopping & ErrandsDone with Grok Bot
Compare Costco and Amazon carts on price and delivery
Grok Bot added items to carts at Costco and Amazon and compared prices, delivery charges and times, handing the desktop back to the user for CAPTCHA or 2FA.
- What They Did
- Matt Palmer, who works in DevRel, asked Grok Bot to look at Costco and Amazon, add items to his cart, and compare prices, delivery charges and times. The bot works on a persistent cloud desktop. When a site needs a CAPTCHA or 2FA login, it hands the desktop back to him to complete.
- How It Went
- The guide mentions this only briefly. It gives no prices, results or timings for the comparison, so how accurate or complete it was isn't stated.
- Worth Knowing
- A bot logged into Amazon could technically buy things. Permissions are natural-language rules in Settings, checked by a review agent, and every bot can reach any site one bot has logged into.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Add this shopping list to a cart at both Costco and Amazon: [list of items with sizes or quantities]. Compare item prices, delivery charges and delivery times, and tell me which cart is the better deal. If you hit a captcha or two-factor prompt, hand control back to me, and do not check out. You're done when you've given me a side-by-side comparison.
