Episode notes
Browser Buys A Suit (Live Test)
- Jewel Burks Solomon asked Atlas to buy a toddler suit and let the browser search Amazon and add items to cart after she logged in.
- She regained control when the agent took too long and then let it finish selecting size and adding to cart.
Prompt Specifically And Regain Control
- Be specific in your initial prompts because more detail helps the agent complete tasks faster and more accurately.
- Regain control when needed using the browser's control button to correct or speed up decisions.
Memory Raises Unclear Privacy Risks
- Atlas asks users whether to allow a memory, but the scope and use of that memory remain unclear from the docs and launch materials.
- Jewel warns users to weigh personalization benefits against uncertain data practices before enabling memory.
