How I actually use it

It's hooked up to ChatGPT, so a week of food goes like this:

  1. Brainstorm what to eat with ChatGPT.
  2. The recipes land in the week plan, and the ingredients in the shopping basket.
  3. The groceries get ordered from AH.

Under the hood

  • I reverse engineered the grocery store app’s API, so the agent can search products and put them straight in the basket.
  • It keeps track of what’s in the fridge, so the agent can plan around leftovers.
  • It remembers preferences, so I don’t have to repeat them every week.
  • It knows what I’ve ordered before, so the basket gets the products I actually buy.
