Instacart launches an AI grocery shopping assistant called Clementine

Instacart launched Clementine, a conversational AI that turns chat, grocery lists, or recipes into a ready-to-buy cart. Users can say “a week of budget-friendly kids’ lunches” and the AI auto-fills items. Uber Eats and DoorDash rolled out similar assistants earlier. The post doesn't disclose which model powers Clementine or a launch timeline.
