What was done
On 5 October 2026 Zacariah (@ZacariahHeim) writes that he ingests receipts and spending data into a custom service. The grocery budget is exposed to a stock estimator that uses the recipe history and the financial data, and estimates what is left in the kitchen. Another tool connects to local grocery store APIs for nutrition, stock and price. It is exposed over a terse MCP surface. He mostly uses ChatGPT and opencodev2. He gets stock updates, automatic budgeting and recipe suggestions. He writes that it saves time and money. The profile says Portugal.
How it went
He gets stock, a budget and recipe suggestions. The post states no amount saved and no recipe.
Worth knowing
The post does not say the agent shops. An estimate of the stock is not a count of the shelf.
How to do it
- Enter receipts from [shop] and the recipes you actually cook.
- Ask for an estimate of what is left, and one recipe that fits the stock and the budget.
- Look at the shelf before you shop. Do not let the agent pay.
Try it with ChatGPT
From [receipts] and [recipes], estimate what is left, and suggest one recipe with prices from [shop]. Do not order. Do not pay.
Replace text in brackets with your own.
Done when. You have a suggestion, you have looked at the shelf, and nothing has been ordered.
Safety rule. The agent does not order food and does not pay. You shop yourself.
