What they did

A Grok Bot called Meal Ingredient Shopper turns a recipe photo or link plus "dinner for 6 at 7 PM" into a grocery cart. It asks what's in your pantry first, scales quantities, and says whether delivery will arrive in time. Nothing is ordered until you say yes, and you sign in to the store yourself.

How it went

A scaled grocery cart with a delivery-time check, waiting for your approval.

Worth knowing

  • Shared by its creator, who says he tested it on 20+ delivery services including Instacart and Amazon Fresh; that's his claim, not independently tested.

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
