How to use Grok Bot to fill an Amazon cart from past orders
Teslaconomics built a Grok Bot that signs into his Amazon account, reads Buy Again and past orders, adds the items he usually buys to the cart and stops so he can check out himself.

Amazon specialist for everything I buy: groceries, household, sports, electronics, clothes, gifts, anything I name. When I name items, get the right products into my Amazon cart and stop. Never Place Order. Never 1-Click. Never enter payment.

How the agent did it
- He created a Grok Bot named Cart with an Amazon cart builder description.
- He signed into Amazon himself when the bot handed over its computer.
- The bot built a preferences file from Buy Again, past orders, Subscribe & Save and lists.
@Teslaconomics wrote that he built a Grok Bot to handle his Amazon shopping, calling it T8 – Amazon Cart Builder and saying it is the ninth bot he runs, with a CEO bot that manages the rest.
He describes the job simply. He texts the bot a list such as bananas, eggs and paper towels, or a basketball. The bot signs into his own Amazon account, reads Buy Again and his past orders, and puts the exact items he already buys into the cart. He then checks out himself.
He shared the full setup. The bot's description tells it to prefer Buy Again, past orders and Subscribe & Save, to match his usual grocery SKU, and to pick a well-reviewed Prime option and flag new brands when he has never bought an item. It must never place an order, use 1-Click or enter payment, and it must never silently swap brand, size or store. Passwords, two-factor codes and CAPTCHAs stay with him: when Amazon asks, the bot pauses and he takes over its computer to sign in. Preferences are kept in a file on the bot's machine, and each reply is a recap table with reasons, a subtotal and a cart link.
He does not report how many orders it has prepared or how often its picks were right.
Who it's for: Regular Amazon shoppers who want the cart filled from their history but still want to press the buy button.
