Order family groceries from fridge contents
A parent has Grok Bot check a connected Samsung fridge and order groceries twice a week, hunting discounts, applying codes, and handling pickup timing.
Done withGrok Bot
- What they did
- The parent says Grok Bot is connected to a Samsung fridge, where it can view two camera-visible shelves, and they supplemented that by feeding it a typical grocery list built from scanned past receipts. Twice a week the agent checks what is likely needed, adds routine items, hunts discounts and promo codes, then places the order and times pickup for set days at one of two stores on the drive home; the human mainly set the rules and gets a morning message to combine pickups.
- How it went
- They say it saves substantial time, money, and energy, and in Norway they also have it push the grocery info into Oda while making sure the basket clears the roughly $80 free-delivery threshold. The fridge camera only covers two shelves, so the receipt-based list is needed to fill gaps.
- Worth knowing
- To avoid usage caps, they say they keep bots on checkpoints that interact only once or twice a day.
