I wouldn't mind help with grocery orders. I like to check which apples are on special and maybe buy a different variety from normal depending on the price.

My grocery store makes this really tedious because they don't have a feature to sort by price per pound. So I have a stupid ritual where I ctrl-F "($0." and repeatedly ctrl-G to see all the apples under $1/pound. Then I do it again with ctrl-F "($1." to see the ones in the $1-$2/pound price range. And there are several other products with similar annoying processes.

If an AI could just do that for me, it would save me time. I don't actually think present-day AI would do it reliably enough, but the concept sounds fine.

I just look at the flyers that come in the Sunday newspaper. Problem solved in under 30 seconds with near-zero effort.

Cheaper than an AI subscription, too.

I wonder how the economics will work for this? How will the AI service providers make money off of it?
