How the agent did it
- Use prior orders, dorm requirements or a shoe receipt as the shopping context.
- Compare the same product across retailers and check size and color availability.
- Prepare the cart or alternative seller results without assuming an order was placed.
Scot Wingo demonstrated Comet on several personal shopping problems in one account. The tasks started with information he already had: a previous Amazon order, his daughter's college dorm details and an emailed receipt for shoes.
For dog treats, Comet found the prior purchase and compared the product across roughly ten stores. Wingo reported that Walmart offered a better price. This was a repeat purchase comparison, where identifying the same item mattered before comparing sellers.
A second task assembled a Target cart for his daughter's college move. Comet checked the shopping requirements against the actual dorm details, making the destination part of the selection process. A third task used an old Backcountry receipt to identify his Cloud shoes. When the requested size and color were unavailable at that retailer, it looked for another seller carrying the combination.
Wingo described these as live demonstrations across multiple browser windows. He did not report a final paid order for each cart, and the shoe replacement was not urgent. The outcome is therefore product matching, retailer comparison and cart preparation, rather than verified delivery. All three tests show the same practical input choice: let the agent begin with existing purchase or accommodation records instead of reconstructing those details from memory.
