How the agent did it
- Supply a photo of the damaged J.Crew pants and describe the desired refund.
- Search authorized email for the matching J.Crew or PayPal receipt.
- Extract purchase details and draft the customer-service request.
Nicole Ruiz demonstrated a household returns workflow in an episode of How I AI with Claire Vo. The task began with a photo of J.Crew pants that had worn through after a few months. Rather than searching scattered purchase records herself, Ruiz asked Claude Cowork to locate the receipt and prepare a refund request.
The workflow searched connected email for a J.Crew or PayPal receipt, extracted identifying purchase details and drafted a message describing the defect. The photo supplied evidence about the physical item, while the email record supplied the order information needed to contact customer service. Those sources had different roles and needed to agree before the draft could be useful.
The episode account explicitly preserves Ruiz's decision and sending responsibilities. She reviews the evidence, approves the wording and sends outgoing messages herself. It does not establish that J.Crew granted a refund or that the request was sent during the demonstration. The concrete result is a prepared administrative request, with human judgment at the final external-action step.
