Plan parties and shop for products with Claude
A commenter has Claude plan events minute by minute with menus, and act as a personal shopper comparing prices, return policies and shipping costs across sites.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- One commenter uses a Claude agent in two personal workflows. For parties, they give it a theme, go back and forth until they agree on ideas, and then it creates a Claude artifact with a countdown to the event plus minute-by-minute planning and menu management. For shopping, it searches product listings across websites, writes an MD file with links and prices, and recommends the best site using return policies, shipping costs, Wirecutter, and other sources.
- How it went
- They describe both setups as regular personal-life uses and say the shopper mainly helps with clothes and household items. The thread gives no hard results or savings figures, and they had not connected it to buying groceries for the party planner.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch is that the process still starts with ideating together first; only after they agree on what they like does the party plan get turned into an artifact.
