Basement is a browser whose job is shopping. It keeps a Closet of everything you have ever bought, learns your taste from how you actually browse, finds the best price across the web, and checks out for you. Every purchase runs on a single-use card scoped to that one order, so your real card is never exposed and nothing goes beyond the budget you set. Every payment lands in one place. Powered by Crossmint. Live on iOS and Chrome.
This is the 2nd launch from Basement Browser. View more
Basement
Launched this week
Basement is now a shopping browser. Today we launch agentic checkout: your AI shopper finds the best price across the web and buys it for you. Every purchase runs on a single-use card scoped to one order, so your real card is never exposed and nothing goes beyond the budget you set. Every payment lands in one place. Powered by Crossmint. It knows what you like. Now it can buy it. Live on iOS and Chrome.

the single-use card scoped to one order is a genuinely good answer to the "what if it overspends" worry, but it doesn't cover the "what if it buys the wrong thing" worry. wrong size, wrong color, a near-identical listing from a sketchy third-party seller instead of the actual brand, out of stock item substituted with something else entirely. is there a confirmation step before the card actually gets charged, or does "buys it for you" mean the purchase completes autonomously and you find out what you got when it arrives?

@galdayan As of now you need to confirm before it buys it for you. We aim to ship a more autonomous one with certain guards in place for derisking agent behavior.
@galdayan @perronef5 How many times does it typically come for confirmation when a person cancels it? Another way to think of this is, what are the top reasons someone is rejecting the agent to buy something?
@perronef5 @heagenb03 good add, Heagen - the rejection-reasons breakdown seems like the more useful metric of the two long term. a raw cancel-rate number just tells you confirmation is working as a safety net, but if Basement can bucket why people are backing out (wrong size/color, price moved, just cold feet after seeing the total) that's actually a roadmap for what the agent should get better at picking before it ever asks for confirmation. curious if Luis/the team is already tracking that breakdown internally or if it's still just an aggregate cancel rate today.
the single-use card scoped to one order is the part that actually makes this feel usable, that's the real blocker for most people handing over checkout to an agent, not the price comparison. signing the budget with a passkey instead of just a stored limit somewhere is a nice touch too. does the Closet also track price drops on stuff you already own, like if a jacket you bought last month goes on sale somewhere else

@omri_ben_shoham1 The closet doesn’t track prices on items you have already bought but that’s an interesting use case.
If it can find Argentina vs Spain under $150, I WANT IT RIGHT NOW
How does live chat feature work?

@hooni_tri You can chat with shoppers directly on any page 🤘
@Luis fair enough, that's a pretty niche case anyway. makes sense to focus the closet on style/fit matching rather than turning it into a price tracker too - that's really a different product.
