Turn Your Saved Instagram Recipes Into A Filled Instacart Cart

Save recipe reels on Instagram like you already do. Once a week an AI agent reads them, builds a meal plan around what you actually like, and loads your real Instacart cart. You just open the app and tap Place Order.

  • A recipe library that fills itself from your Instagram saves
  • A weekly dinner plan that respects your macros, allergies, and what you hate
  • A clean shopping list with duplicates merged and pantry staples removed
  • Your real Instacart cart built for you each week, you just place the order
