Order family groceries from fridge contents
According to the write-up, the parent says Grok Bot is connected to a Samsung fridge, where it can view two camera-visible shelves, and they supplemented that by feeding it a typical grocery list assembled from scanned past receipts. Twice a week the agent checks what is likely needed, adds routine items, hunts discounts and promo codes, then places the order and times pickup for set days at one of two stores on the drive home; the human mainly set the rules and gets a morning message to combine pickups. They say it saves substantial time, money, and energy, and in Norway they also have it push the grocery info into Oda while making sure the basket clears the roughly $80 free-delivery threshold.
