Watch item prices and email on drops
A commenter set up a ChatGPT price watch on items they want and gets an email only when the price drops.
What they did
The commenter set up a recurring ChatGPT task using the schedule tool rather than separate watches for each item. They ask it to check all US/web stores for an item, notify only when it falls to a target price, and optionally connect a mail app so the alert is emailed; another commenter says they bundle multiple home-decor items into one watch.
How it went
They describe it as one of the boring setups that actually sticks because it only messages on a real drop. The thread gives no purchase savings or success-rate numbers, and notes plan limits on how many scheduled checks you can have.
Worth knowing
One practical catch: free and Plus plans were said to top out at hourly checks, with a cap on the number of scheduled watches, so grouping items into one task helps.
