Ideas on how you can use the Instacart ChatGPT Plugin

Creating a Shopping List

The Instacart ChatGPT plugin can help you create and manage your shopping list. You can easily add items, specify quantities, and even make notes on brand preferences or specific flavors.

“Hey ChatGPT, I want to add a gallon of 2% milk, a loaf of whole grain bread, and 3 Granny Smith apples to my shopping list.”

“I’m having a party this weekend. Can you help me create a shopping list? I’m thinking we’ll need snacks, drinks, and some ingredients for a main dish.”

Recipe Ingredient Check

This plugin can also help you ensure that you have all the ingredients you need for a specific recipe. You can input the recipe, and it will cross-check the ingredients with your existing shopping list or pantry inventory.

“I’m planning to make lasagna for dinner tonight. Can you check if I have all the ingredients on my shopping list?”

“Can you help me add the ingredients for a vegan chocolate cake to my shopping list?”

Suggesting Substitutes

If a specific item is out of stock or you have dietary restrictions, the Instacart ChatGPT plugin can suggest suitable substitutes that are available.

“It looks like the store is out of almond milk. Can you suggest a good dairy-free alternative?”

“I can’t eat gluten. Can you recommend a substitute for regular flour in my shopping list?”
