Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The team runs an OpenClaw assistant, Gila, on a local machine in their New York office, and teammates tag her in Slack. A skill.md tells her to collect grocery requests, compile a list, and get approval from an authorized person. She then types the list as free text into ChatGPT's Instacart app, which builds the cart, and she posts the cart link and summary to Slack.

  2. How it went

    It worked end to end, and Gila ordered the office groceries. The authors call it more reliable than expected. They keep a human approval step before final payment. No numbers are given.

  3. Worth knowing

    It only works with ChatGPT apps that have in-chat checkout, such as Instacart. It also depends on a consumer product that OpenAI could change.

Example prompts

Try with OpenClaw
Every [Thursday], collect grocery and supply requests posted in the Slack channel [#channel-name] and compile them into one deduplicated list. Post the list to me and wait for my approval, then build the cart at [Instacart store] and post the cart link back in the channel. Do not place the order or spend any money without my explicit go-ahead.
