BLACK BOXflight recorder for AI shopping agents
● Live demo · PayPal sandbox

Watch an agent get fooled.

A real AI agent shops at a real (sandbox) store that hides a note only AI agents read. The buyer disputes the purchase in PayPal, and Black Box settles it by itself.

Steps 1 and 2 need the operator password, because they spend model credit and create PayPal orders.

  1. 01 The buyer sets the limit

    Approve “blue rain jacket, size M, at most $150” with your passkey (Touch ID). It signs exactly that mandate.

  2. 02 The agent shops

    It reads every page of Driftwood Outfitters, picks a jacket and checks out. Black Box seals what it saw and decided into the PayPal order.

  3. 03 The buyer pays

    Pay through the PayPal link the agent run gives you, as the sandbox buyer.

  4. 04 The buyer disputes

    In the PayPal sandbox: Activity, the payment, Report a problem, item not as described.

  5. 05 Black Box settles it

    PayPal’s webhook, or a check every 30 seconds, wakes Black Box. It judges the case and tells PayPal what to do. The run is at the top of Recordings, tagged Live run.
