Ask Shipt: turn a meal plan and budget into a shopping cart
Dinner for a family or a gathering for 25: Ask Shipt turns meal requests, budgets and occasions into an editable grocery cart.
Family dinner: start with people and budget
Shipt launched Ask Shipt on September 9. One official demo requests a taco dinner for five under $50, producing meat, shells and toppings. Open the assistant below search after choosing a retailer. Recipes and meal photos are also accepted. Demo prices are examples.
School snacks: ask, then choose
Another demo turns a classroom-snack request into products including yogurt and cheese. Shoppers can swap or remove items and change quantities before checkout.
A gathering: describe the occasion
For 25 guests, the demo adds a set of products and suggests extras. The announcement also describes budget dinners and school lunches. The assistant translates an occasion into a shopping list.
Start with a meal, not individual searches
Ask Shipt and Instacart’s new Clementine connect meal requests to store products, reducing the step of translating a recipe into a shopping list. Shipt serves the U.S.; products and delivery depend on the retailer and address.
