Plan a week of dinners and order the groceries in one chat

Your dinner plan becomes a grocery order without you typing a single item into another app.

About 15 minutes A few steps

Published . Steps as of October 2026.

Can Gemini plan my meals and order the groceries for me?

Yes. Connect your grocery app in Gemini's Customize menu, plan the week in a chat, then ask Gemini to build the order. As of October 2026, Gemini connects to more than 40 apps, and ordering groceries is one of the tasks it can do in one conversation. If your grocery app isn't connected, ask Gemini for the plan and the shopping list only. Most connected apps are in English in the US for now.

Your prompt

Fill in your details. Skip any you like.

This AI can't be filled in from a link, so the button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.

The prompt that gets copied

Plan [HOW MANY DINNERS, e.g. 5 weeknight dinners] for [WHO'S EATING, e.g. 2 adults, 2 kids, one vegetarian]. Keep each dinner under [MAX COOK TIME, e.g. 30 minutes] and our grocery spend near [WEEKLY BUDGET, e.g. 150]. We already have [WHAT'S IN THE KITCHEN, e.g. rice, eggs, frozen peas]. Reuse ingredients across meals so nothing goes to waste, and make one dinner big enough for leftovers. Show the plan by day first, then one combined shopping list grouped by store aisle, with amounts. Leave off anything we already have. When I say it's good, add the list to my grocery order in my connected app, and don't check out until I've reviewed it.

Connect your grocery app in Gemini's Customize menu, then plan a week of dinners. Gemini turns the plan into a shopping list and builds the order in the same conversation.

Step by step

  1. Open Gemini, tap the left menu and choose Customize
  2. Connect the grocery app you already use under Connected apps
  3. Start a new chat and paste the prompt with your family details
  4. Check the list, then ask Gemini to add it to your order and review it before you pay

What you'll get

A five-day dinner plan, one shopping list grouped by aisle, and a grocery order built in your connected app, ready for you to review.

Most connected apps are English-only in the US for now. A few work in other countries.
