Instacart is the latest app to bake a conversational AI assistant into its platform. The company announced on Wednesday that it’s launching a new AI-powered grocery shopping assistant called Clementine that can turn a conversation, grocery list, or recipe into a ready-to-buy cart.
With Clementine, users can decide what to make for dinner, simplify grocery shopping, and stay on budget, the company says. For example, users can ask the assistant queries like, “I need a week of budget-friendly kids’ lunches,” “high-protein, easy dinners for two,” or “order my usuals.”
