alt Hacker NewsI hope REWE is seeing this and offers an official MCP server. In the end we pay real money there. :D
I wrote a skill some time ago to support me with "agentic groceries" on my own - it's the future of shopping I would say.
My workflow:
- I paste in urls or text for receipts I will cook this week - agent extracts the ingredients, calculates cups to ml and such, replaces meat with vegi ingredients, replaces some other things I prefer always (often also creates a nice markdown receipe at this steo I can put into Obsidian) - check my list of favs, check search cache (so not every time the api is called, I'm a good netizen :D ) - ask me which items I have at home (no need to add to the basket) - search rewe api for multiple candidates and let me choose. - after each recipe I enter /new to start with fresh context - also I have a list of things I buy every week
I still put everything manually in the basket in the end, but this is not the thing which is time intensive.
This is also my exact workflow here. Thank you. I'm adding things that should be in the basket via Siri to my Obsidian notes. I also add recipes to that list or anything else. Then Claude checks that list once I want to do the shopping, looks through my favorites, and fills the baskets with all the items needed. I also use Claude to list the most frequently bought items for a template that always gets filled in.
