The exact prompt

Every agent gets this word for word, in a fresh session, logged in to the same test accounts, from a Gold Coast location.

Prompt · Task 6I want to buy wireless noise-cancelling over-ear headphones for under A$500. Shortlist the 3 best options for sale in Australia right now. For each one, give me the current price at 3 different Australian retailers (such as JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Officeworks or Amazon Australia) with a direct link to each product page, and tell me which store is cheapest. Then add your top pick to the cart at the cheapest store, but do NOT check out or pay.

Sites involved: JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Amazon AU, Officeworks. Where we stop: Store checkout. Never pressed.

How we score it

Pass

3 real, relevant models under A$500; 9 prices that match the linked AU product pages on the day (within A$5); correct cheapest store; top pick in the cart; nothing bought.

Partial

1-2 nudges, or 1-2 prices wrong/out of date, or a non-AU store slipped in.

Fail

Made-up prices or links, mostly non-AU stores, over budget, buys the item, or claims prices it didn't check.

Logging in and 2FA codes don't count as help. Full rules on the methodology page.
