On my Google Calendar, find a free Saturday morning in the next month for a kids' playdate and create the event once I confirm. Then on Walmart.com, add our usual groceries from my order history plus a few healthy, not-too-sugary camp snacks, and remove anything that would ship instead of being delivered. Don't check out.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish. Goal: Handle two family chores in the browser: book a playdate slot and prepare the weekly grocery cart. Questions to ask me first: - Which calendar and how far ahead should you look? - Which grocery site and delivery option? - Any snack rules (sugar, allergies, brands)? Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Calendar: [GOOGLE CALENDAR] - Window: [NEXT 4 WEEKS, SATURDAY MORNINGS] - Store: [WALMART.COM + DELIVERY] - Snack rules: [LOW SUGAR / NUT-FREE] Rules: - Ask before creating the calendar event. - Use order history for usual items. - Delivery items only; no shipped items. - Do not check out. Checkpoint: Show the free slots you found before booking one. If you get stuck: If a CAPTCHA or login appears, hand control back to me and wait. Verify before you finish: The event is on the calendar and every cart item is delivery-eligible. Output: The created event and a cart summary with anything you were unsure about. Done when: The playdate is scheduled and the cart is ready for my review.

Outcome
Priya Mathew Badger screen-recorded two parent chores in Perplexity Comet. On Google Calendar, Comet found a free Saturday morning in a busy month for a playdate and created the event when asked. On Walmart.com, logged into a Walmart+ account with order history, it added the family's usual items plus some not-too-sugary camp snacks (some the 5-year-old would have loved) and removed items that would ship instead of deliver when told. The same Walmart task in ChatGPT agent stalled at a CAPTCHA that its virtual browser did not register as solved.
