Spectra, the bot with a spending cap
A live demo of a purchasing agent that sources products, respects a budget, and stages checkout for human approval.
Field notes
Spectra presents a working-style console rather than a static product explanation. Its demo inventory contains eight named SKUs with stock counts, merchants, prices, and delivery estimates, while controls expose a $50–$1,000 spend-cap range and quiet hours. A sample brief filters for size-10 graphite runners under $200; the system is designed to watch over-cap items rather than buy them. The page distinguishes this staged, fake inventory from the requested real-agent access.
