Turn grocery purchase history into a spreadsheet
A poster used ChatGPT Agent to pull 2025 grocery orders from an account and organize them into a spreadsheet.
- What they did
- They asked ChatGPT Agent to sign into a grocery store account, review every purchase from 2025, remove repeated entries, and assemble the data in spreadsheet form. The agent handled the site navigation and sheet formatting fairly well, but it needed oversight and fresh prompts when it stopped midway.
- How it went
- The workflow got the browser steps and spreadsheet layout mostly right, but it did not make it to the end on its own. The poster said it quit long before finishing because it hit browser context limits.
- Tips
- This kind of task still needs supervision, especially when the agent has to browse for a long stretch. If you try it, plan to check progress and be ready to nudge it back on track.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
Sign in to my [grocery store] account; I’ll handle any login verification or other step that you can’t complete safely. Open my order or purchase history for [year], extract each item I bought with the date, price, and quantity, and remove duplicate entries. Organize the results into a spreadsheet with clear columns and totals by item and by month. Before you do anything irreversible or final, stop and ask me to approve it. When you’re done, give me the file and mention any purchases you could not capture cleanly.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
