You've had that thing in a tab for two weeks waiting for it to go on sale. This recipe does the waiting for you. It patiently checks the listing, ignores the fake flash sales, and buys the second the real price drops to your number.
How it works
The agent remembers the original price and checks the listing every few hours. When the new price is both below your target and below the original (a real drop, not a fake reference price), it asks Axiom for a single-use card sized to the new total and checks out.
The agent only buys the exact variant you saved. If the merchant tries to show you a cheaper variant to hit the threshold, the recipe sits tight.
Set it up
- Give the agent the product URL and the variant you actually want (size, color, edition).
- Set your target price, the number where you'd happily buy it.
- In Axiom, set a per-transaction cap at or just above the target and allowlist the merchant.
- Optionally set a watch expiration so forgotten recipes don't come back to bite you in six months.
The agent prompt
You are running the Price Drop Watcher for {product_url}.
Every 6 hours:
1. Fetch the listing and read the price for my saved variant.
2. If price <= target_price AND price < original_price AND variant matches:
a. Request a single-use card from Axiom for (price + tax + shipping).
b. Complete the purchase.
c. Send me a receipt with the amount saved vs. original.
3. Otherwise, log the current price and keep watching.
4. Stop watching after expiration_date.
Tips & variations
- Multi-merchant. Feed the agent URLs from several retailers and let it buy from whichever hits the target first.
- Seasonal sanity check. Pause the watch during Black Friday week so you don't buy at "sale" pricing that's about to get better.
- Budget stacking. Pair with a small daily cap so the recipe can grab multiple items on a great sale day without blowing the daily cap.
