Would you trust an AI assistant that buys things for you over text?

Saw that new app Tab raised at a huge valuation for a bot that lives entirely inside iMessage and WhatsApp.
It actually books stuff and spends money for you instead of just giving instructions.
Not having to download a new app is great, but texting feels super sketchy when real money is involved.
How can text-based tools give you clear receipts so you know they didn't mess up your order?

I'd want a small order summary before saying yes: the exact item, seller, total including fees, and delivery date. That yes should apply to that specific order; if the price or item changes, ask again. After checkout, send the merchant's order number and a link where I can check or cancel it myself. 'Done, I've booked it' isn't enough, especially if the payment went through but the booking failed.
