My AI logs every meal by voice, text or photo into my own spreadsheet
After years of building his own food logging apps and never liking them, he set up an AI as his food logger in about half an hour, and now sends it a voice note, a text or a photo of each meal. The bot works out what he ate, looks up the nutrition numbers and logs it in a Google spreadsheet it made for him, and its guesses are usually right.
His agent predicts the weekly shop from his receipts, books the delivery slot, and fills the basket

During the week he sends a photo of a barcode when something runs out and the AI adds it to the shop.

They eat out far less now.

The meal kit bot refunds us every week for wrong orders

My agent picks five recipes from my own cookbooks and fills my Ocado basket
A man gave the AI access to his Ocado account and digital copies of all his cookbooks. The AI built a database of his recipes, picks five for the week inside his budget including delivery, puts the ingredients in his basket and booked the delivery slot on its own.
