Kroger is making grocery shopping easier with the launch of a new AI Shopping Assistant across its family of companies’ websites and apps. The tool helps customers plan meals, discover recipes, and build shopping carts based on factors such as budget and dietary needs. Shoppers can also upload a photo of a handwritten grocery list or recipe card or paste a recipe link, allowing the assistant to identify the necessary products and create a cart in seconds.
The new tool arrives as Kroger focuses on helping families navigate the busy back-to-school and back-to-routine season with greater convenience. By combining AI-powered planning and personalization with options including in-store shopping, Pickup, Delivery, and delivery in as little as 30 minutes, Kroger is creating a more connected experience that helps customers move more easily from deciding what to eat to getting the products they need.
Why it matters:
- AI helps Kroger address everyday customer pain points such as meal planning, list building, and staying within a budget.
- Turning recipes and handwritten lists directly into shopping carts reduces friction in the grocery shopping journey.
- The tool strengthens Kroger’s omnichannel experience by connecting personalized digital assistance with convenient fulfillment options.
