OpenAI Dots + Instacart blocks cross-store price comparison, hurting shoppers
Genera1Ts0 · reddit · 2026-10-12
A user found that when ordering via Instacart through OpenAI Dots (ChatGPT's shopping feature), the system does not support cross-store price comparison — you shop within a single store only, with no way to compare the same item across stores. The poster worries this design hurts consumers: a shopping agent that can't compare prices abandons its core value of saving users money.
