A List That Walks You Through the Store
Type 'milk, bread, apples' into a smart list. It puts apples in produce, milk in dairy, bread in bakery — sorted by where they actually are in the store.
After a few weeks, the AI notices your family always buys eggs and yogurt on Sundays. If you forget to add them, the app gently suggests them.
Where the smart parts come in
- Sorting by aisle
- Reminders for things you usually buy
- Catching the same item typed two different ways ('milk', '2% milk')
The big idea: smart lists save trips and steps by knowing the store. The choices on the list are still yours.
