ChatGPT desktop tests WebMCP-powered shopping actions
Juozas Kaziukėnas demonstrated an experimental ChatGPT desktop flow that opened a Shopify store, found a red lipstick, added it to the basket, and navigated to the billing form via structured WebMCP calls. The system used functions exposed by the website rather than scraping pages and simulating every click, while the customer still completed payment details.
