Plan meals and fill a grocery cart with a three-bot Grok Bot food prep team

Try it yourself

What you get

A multi-day meal plan from meals you already like, a filled grocery cart stopped before checkout, and short cooking instructions when you are ready to cook.

Tools

• Grok Bot
• A grocery-store website you can log into

Time / cost: Under 3 minutes for shopping; meals under 20 minutes to cook (per author)

Steps

1. Ask Grok Bot (as Chief of Staff) to create three specialist bots: Meal Organiser, Shopper, and Cooking Bot, and to show their descriptions before creating them.
2. Fill in your food profile: diet, servings, never-include list, preferences, grocery-store link, and a meal bank of 6–10 meals.
3. Tell the Chief of Staff how many days of lunch and dinner to plan (plus extras); approve the Meal Organiser's plan and shopping list.
4. Let the Shopper fill the cart and stop before checkout; review substitutions, then check out yourself.
5. When cooking, name a meal from the plan and get step-by-step instructions from the Cooking Bot.

Copy-ready prompt

Set up a food prep team for me: three specialist Bots reporting to you, my Chief of Staff.

Start by asking me for any missing details in my food profile. Show me the proposed Bot descriptions before creating them.

MY FOOD PROFILE

Diet: [my diet or dietary goals].
Servings: [how many people each meal should feed].
Never include: [allergies, intolerances and disliked foods].
Preferences: [cooking time, budget and ingredient preferences].
Grocery store: [Add store link].
Meal bank: [6–10 meals I like, or ask me and suggest some].

Save my confirmed profile for future use.

1 - MEAL ORGANISER
When I tell you how many days and which meals, build a plan from my meal bank.

Follow my food profile. Ask about ingredients I already have so we can avoid buying them again.

Return the meal plan and one combined shopping list with quantities matched to the number of servings. Include any extras I request.

Wait for my approval before handing the list to the Shopper.

2 - SHOPPER

After I approve the plan, open my grocery store's website and fill the cart with the approved shopping list.

Pick sensible pack sizes. Check the existing cart before adding items to avoid duplicates.

For out-of-stock items, choose the closest suitable match within my food profile. Flag anything uncertain rather than guessing, especially where an allergy or dietary restriction is involved.

Stop before checkout. Never choose a delivery slot, place the order or pay.

Return the cart total, substitutions and anything you couldn't find. I will review the cart and check out myself.

3 - COOKING

When I name a meal from the plan, give me simple cooking instructions using the ingredients we selected, including any approved substitutions.

Include preparation time, cooking time, quantities and steps in order. Explain when to start each component so everything finishes together.

Keep the recipe within my agreed cooking-time preference. Flag any extra preparation needed in advance.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

I tell you:

'Plan 3 days of lunch and dinner, plus these extras: [items].'

You get the Meal Organiser to draft the plan and show it to me.

After my approval, send the shopping list to the Shopper.

Report back when the cart is ready, including anything that needs my attention.

When I ask what to cook, use the current plan and get the Cooking Bot to guide me.

For the initial grocery-store connection, open the website and let me complete the login myself.

Confirm which Bots are created and whether the store is accessible. Tell me if any setup step remains incomplete.

Watch out: The Shopper should stop before checkout; review substitutions yourself, especially for allergies. Log into the grocery site yourself on first connect.
