Prompts by profession
The right Instacart question depends on the shopper: moms rebuild the weekly family cart, students restock dorm essentials, restaurant owners reorder staples. Each card below is a copy-ready prompt tuned to that list — paste it into Muse, tweak the items in brackets, and never let it place the order without your review.
Mom
Build my weekly grocery list from past orders and schedule Friday delivery. Confirm the total with me first.
Student
Build a budget grocery list under $[X] for the week. Don't order.
Restaurant owner
Price out this week's produce list across stores. Don't order anything.
Check it worked
A working Instacart connection means Muse answers from your real order history — item names you recognize — instead of asking you to connect or giving generic advice. Run the three checks below right after pasting the prompt; each takes seconds, and a miss tells you exactly which step to redo.
- 1Paste the prompt — Muse should list grocery items matching your usual orders.
- 2Compare the cart against your Instacart order history. Familiar items mean it’s reading your real history.
- 3Confirm nothing was ordered — check Instacart for unexpected orders before you trust it with checkout.
