ChatGPT browser agent finds and tests discount codes at checkout, saving this user 20%

A user shared a workflow for using ChatGPT's browser mode to automatically find and verify discount codes, claiming it found a working code that saved 20%. The full steps:
- Open ChatGPT, select Work, upload a photo/screenshot of the product or describe the brand, size, model, and store.
- Prompt: "Find every working discount code, coupon, and promotional offer available for this exact product right now. Ask me clarifying questions before proceeding."
- ChatGPT searches for codes tied to that product and store.
- Then, in the same chat: "Open your browser, go to the checkout page, and test every discount code you found. Tell me which codes work and which one gives me the biggest saving."
The key insight: most codes online are expired or inapplicable, so having the agent test them live at checkout is what filters out the best working code.
