A Reddit user instructed an AI agent to buy a £20 surprise gift on Amazon — "make it feel like you know me, make it laugh, don't let me see what it is" — and gave it checkout authorization. The agent worked 5m12s, ordered a £19.65 gift arriving the next day, and advised keeping the confirmation email unopened to preserve the surprise.
