## The prompt

```text
I want to add a free [product name] to every order over $[amount]. Find that product and check it is in stock and how many I have. Create a coupon with the code [code] that adds 1 of that product to the cart for free. Then set it to apply by itself when the cart subtotal is at least $[amount]. Show me the product, stock level and coupon setup first, and wait for my OK before you create anything.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: I want to add a free [product name] to every order over $[amount]…

Assistant: Found Travel Tote (ID 482, SKU TT-01), in stock with 140 units. No coupon called FREETOTE exists yet. Calling: `woocommerce/products-query`, `advanced-coupons/create-add-products-coupon`, `advanced-coupons/set-auto-apply`, `advanced-coupons/get-coupon`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: FREETOTE now adds 1 Travel Tote free to the cart and applies by itself when the subtotal reaches $100. I checked the saved coupon and the condition is in place.
