Let your local model place a grocery order from live data
A local Qwen model used fridge inventory, old orders, and live shop stock to buy groceries online.
- What they did
- They built a shopping tool around a local Qwen 3.6 27B model. The model was fed a rough list of what was already in the fridge, about 10 past purchases to reflect preferences and nearby-store product codes, plus up-to-date stock from the shop. Using those inputs, it chose items and sent the grocery order.
- How it went
- The checkout completed while they were cooking pasta. They said this setup finally handled live availability in a way cooking-delivery products had not, though larger tasks still run better on Claude or ChatGPT.
- Tips
- This kind of setup depends on strong background data, not clever prompting. Keep fridge contents, order history, and store availability current if you want good results.
