What they did
Flo Crivello set up a custom agent with a simple rule: choose the healthiest option and place the order. After that, the agent handled meal decisions and ordering twice a day on its own.
How it went
The agent made every meal decision over a two-week stretch. Flo said they disliked how it worked out.
Tips
If you try this, define what “healthy” means in advance and put a clear spending limit in the instructions. Make the agent stop for approval before it pays for anything.

Check [delivery app or restaurant site] for lunch and dinner options that deliver to [address]. Pick the healthiest meals that fit [dietary goals] and stay under [budget] per order. Put the chosen meal in the cart and show me the delivery time and full total. Stop there and wait for my approval before you pay or place the order.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
