How AI Is Finally Able to Compare Products and Build Grocery Lists Automatically
Yo fam — we finally hit our Jarvis moment.
First, we had Copilot Actions ordering us flowers with a single message… and now AI is helping us shop, compare products, and even build grocery lists like it’s nothing. Wild times.
In this post, I’m breaking down a couple of quick 5-second demo clips showing how people can use AI to make everyday tasks easier. Everything you see here is based on public features and real interactions, just to give you a feel for how conversational shopping is evolving across the AI world.
Whether you’re trying to figure out which running shoes won’t destroy your knees or you just want AI to auto-build an Instacart ingredient list for tonight’s dinner, these examples show how natural-language requests can turn into instant, organized results. No digging through filters, no tab-hopping — just “ask and go.”
Below are the clips, plus a little context on what’s happening behind the scenes.
🎬 Clip 1: “How Do You Use AI to Find the Best Running Shoes?”
Demo: “ChatGPT Finds Your Best Running Shoes”
In this quick clip, you’ll see how a simple message like “Find me the best running shoes for daily training under $150” triggers a full product breakdown. The AI pulls together styles, price ranges, and comfort factors in seconds — perfect for people who don’t have time to scroll endlessly.
Other questions being answered here.
How can AI help me find the best running shoes fast?
AI uses your natural-language request (like “lightweight shoes for daily runs under $150”) and matches it against publicly available product data. Instead of you clicking filters, the model interprets your criteria, identifies relevant specs, and surfaces options that fit your needs instantly.
Can AI compare running shoes without opening 20 tabs?
Yes, the model can summarize differences in cushioning, fit, durability, price ranges, and user reviews by pulling in the publicly described attributes of each shoe. It compresses the research you’d normally gather from multiple pages into a single, easy-to-read comparison.
And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for… Can AI do my groceries? Yes, yes it can…
🎬 Clip 2 – How Do You Use AI to Auto-Build Your Grocery List?
Demo: “ChatGPT Fills Your Instacart Cart”
In this clip, you’ll see how a simple request like “Add everything I need for lasagna to my QFC cart” turns into a fully assembled grocery list. The AI pulls in ingredients, quantities, pricing, and store options automatically, which is perfect for anyone who wants to skip the scrolling and get straight to checkout.
More questions about this answered.
How can AI help me build a grocery list automatically?
AI takes your natural-language request (like “make me the ingredients for lasagna”) and converts it into a structured list of items. It interprets the recipe, extracts the ingredients, and organizes everything into a clean list ready for shopping.
Can AI add items directly to my Instacart or store cart?
Yes — the model can connect to shopping actions and place the items into your Instacart cart for a specific store, including quantities and substitutions where needed. It turns a plain-text recipe into real, ready-to-purchase items.
The system matches your requested ingredients with available store items, taking into account product types, sizing, and availability. It pulls from publicly listed grocery data so your cart reflects real products you can check out with.
