Goal: Find the best pizza or sushi takeout deals near me under $30 total. Inputs (fill in or confirm): - My address or ZIP - Party size - Pickup or delivery - Dietary needs Rules: - Compare restaurant sites and apps; include fees and tax in the total. - Only list deals currently valid today. - Note ratings and estimated wait. - Prefer ordering direct when it's cheaper. - Check the deal applies to pizza or sushi for the party size, not a single item. - Include delivery fees, service fees, tax and a typical tip in the total. - Prefer places rated 4+ with recent reviews. - Check each restaurant's own site or app for the deal, not just aggregators. - Check current hours and delivery area. - List the top three within budget with links. - Note whether each deal needs a code or app-only ordering. Checkpoint: Don't place an order. If you get stuck: If an app needs login to show prices, use the restaurant site or ask me; if a CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, ask me, and never guess or store passwords. Verify before you finish: Double-check the total for the top pick. Output: Top three deals with total cost and links. Done when: I can order a meal under $30 all-in.

The Verge's Allison Johnson had Gemini's task automation on a Pixel 10 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra build her Saturday dinner order on Uber Eats. It correctly added two half portions to make one chicken teriyaki combo, struggled to find a side of greens and made a couple of wrong turns, and took about nine minutes, stopping before the final confirm so she could check and place the order.

A Wendy's innovation executive gave ChatGPT agent one prompt to order a customised combo, drink and Frosty from wendys.com for delivery, including his payment info. He says it navigated the site like a real user, hit snags, worked around them and placed the order; a misread CVV field almost broke it.
