Done withInstacart Clementine
- What they did
- Aly Walansky, who has shopped on Instacart since the pandemic, asked Instacart's Clementine assistant to shop her usuals after choosing a store. She also photographed a paper list to import, and described a planned roast chicken dinner so it could suggest missing ingredients. She reviewed quantities, substitutions and prices, and edited the cart herself before checkout.
- How it went
- It returned 27 items from her history, said which usual products the store lacked and offered similar ones. For the chicken dinner it suggested sides and lemons, judging them against what was already in her cart.
- Worth knowing
- The tool leans on long purchase history, and the author stayed in control of substitutions and checkout. She also had the cooking knowledge to judge its suggestions.
