Outcome
Tom's Guide's Alex Hughes asked ChatGPT agent to order a pizza to his address and ask before paying; it worked through pop-ups and site obstacles and handed back at checkout for his details and payment, taking about 15-20 minutes. Asked for a pizza from one specific restaurant, it gave up on the restaurant's own site, searched Deliveroo at length and finally found it on Uber Eats.

order a pizza to [my address inserted in]. Ask me for confirmation before making a payment
Try this in:
Sends the Original prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini opens empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.
Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

Optional stronger version
Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.
Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to. Goal: Order one pizza for delivery to my address and stop at checkout so I can confirm and pay. Fill in before running: - Delivery address: [ADDRESS] - What I want: [PIZZA, SIZE, TOPPINGS] - Restaurant (or 'any well-rated place nearby'): [RESTAURANT] - Max total including delivery and tip: [BUDGET] - Delivery apps I already use: [e.g. Uber Eats, Deliveroo, DoorDash] Rules: - Try the restaurant's own site first; if ordering there is unclear after a couple of minutes, switch to a delivery app that lists it. - Close cookie banners and pop-ups, but never accept paid add-ons or subscriptions. - Match the order exactly; if an item or size isn't available, ask me before swapping. - Show me the basket with item prices, fees, tip and the estimated delivery time before checkout. - If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me. - Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. - If you've spent 10 minutes on one site without progress, tell me and suggest the next-best option instead of looping. Output: A short summary: where you ordered from, the basket, the total and the delivery estimate, then hand control to me on the payment page. You'll know it worked when: the basket matches my order, the total is under my budget, and the only step left is me entering payment. Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
