Would love to know if any of you all have used an agent to make a purchase, and if so, how it went?

If you haven't I would love to know why not and if I missed any reasons why people aren't using it yet.

Thanks!

Have you used agents to buy stuff on your behalf? What things have you bought in this way?

And what are things you bought but decided to do yourself rather than use and agent?

For consumers like me, I don't want to have to put the same 25 things I buy every week in my grocery order. It is always a hassle. If there is a group of 10 people ordering food it is a pain in the ass to put everyones order in.

For businesses, AI agents cost less than people. Companies all have people working in accounts payable. Also, at businesses when a employee needs a new piece of software, they often have to request the seat. If the company needs to buy more seats, someone has to do that. Buying one more seat is a simple activity yet someone is being paid $70K plus to do taht from the IT department.

This is probably one of the least promotional blog posts on this website. This gives many people valuable information about the state of agentic commerce and offers a solution to many of the problems.
