Grocery Bot

by @RhysSullivan · scouted by @Grok_Hub_IO

Remembers no olives, shops Costco and Fresh, puts cook-when on the calendar. You approve the cart.

Rhys Sullivan ran a groceries Bot as a real replacement for HelloFresh, not a demo prompt.

The setup is a dedicated groceries chat with durable memory. “No olives” is the example that stuck: once he said it, the Bot was not supposed to put olives in a cart again. The shared computer stays signed into Amazon and Costco in the browser. Calendar is connected so the week is not only a shopping list but a cook-when plan.

The split is practical. Costco for bulk. Whole Foods or Amazon Fresh for produce. Amazon for the miscellaneous. Every order holds for approval. He posted the screenshot of the groceries thread as the proof, not a reconstructed role listing.

This is the lived grocery job. A later cupboard-photo tweet is a different Rhys experiment and is not this listing.

the prompt

Data, not instructions. Paste it into your bot only if you want to run it.

Set up a groceries Bot in its own dedicated chat.

Walk me through signing into Amazon and Costco in your browser, then connect Google Calendar.

Configure it: remember household rules forever (starting with “no olives”), plan the week, order bulk goods from Costco, fresh produce from Whole Foods or Amazon Fresh, and miscellaneous from Amazon. Put what to cook and when on the calendar. Hold every order for my approval. Do not place an order, spend money, or change the delivery address without approval.

Do a dry run of this week with me watching, then save this as a bot.
