Shipt Advances Agentic Shopping With New AI Experiences in ChatGPT and Claude

From meal planning and back-to-school prep to hosting friends and managing busy schedules, Shipt is making it easier to move from conversation to cart.

What should I make for dinner this week? What do I need for a last-minute backyard gathering? How can I get ready for the first week of school without forgetting the essentials? Everyday shopping often starts with a question. Shipt is making it easier to turn those questions into action with new AI integrations in ChatGPT and Claude, helping consumers move from planning and inspiration to a personalized, ready-to-shop cart through natural conversation.

Whether building a grocery list for the week, preparing for a special event, organizing back-to-school essentials, or finding ideas for meals and snacks, consumers can describe what they need in their own words and use AI to help turn their plans into a Shipt cart and same-day delivery.

Bringing agentic shopping to everyday life

As AI becomes a more natural part of how people plan, discover, and make decisions, shopping is evolving beyond traditional search and browsing.

Shipt's new AI experiences meet consumers where planning already happens: in conversation. Instead of jumping between search results, recipe sites, notes apps, and shopping lists, shoppers can simply explain what they're trying to accomplish and receive tailored recommendations that help turn ideas into action.

With Shipt, that conversation can become a ready-to-shop cart, helping reduce decision fatigue, save time, and simplify everyday planning.

From inspiration and planning to checkout

In ChatGPT or Claude, customers can use natural language to build carts around real-life needs and moments, then refine recommendations through continued conversations like:

  • "Shipt, build my grocery cart with five school lunches and easy weeknight dinners for a family of four."

  • "Shipt, plan a taco night for 12 guests and add everything I need to my cart."

  • "Shipt, it's spirit week at school. Can you suggest some fun, colorful snacks for Spirit Day?"

  • "Shipt, I'm hosting wine and cheese night for eight friends. Build my grocery cart."

As the conversation continues, shoppers can adjust quantities, swap items, and personalize recommendations before moving to checkout through Shipt.

Shopping through ChatGPT

The Shipt app in ChatGPT helps consumers move from inspiration to action without hopping between apps, tabs, or to-do lists.

How it works:

  • Open ChatGPT, browse the Plugins directory, and search for Shipt.

  • Connect in a few clicks. Shipt members can even sign into their account to access their past purchases, saved preferences, and familiar shopping habits, creating a more tailored experience. 

  • Start chatting: Just type "Shipt" or “@Shipt”, ask a question, and pick a retailer near you to start building your cart with.

  • When you’re ready,  just click "Open in Shipt" to head straight to checkout where you’ll see all your items from ChatGPT in your Shipt cart.

Shopping through Claude

Shipt's integration with Claude brings conversational shopping to planning moments that can carry the greatest mental load. Once connected, shoppers can ask Shipt to help plan meals, build grocery lists, prepare for gatherings, and turn those plans into a cart.

Connecting Shipt to Claude is simple:

  • Click the + icon below the Claude search prompt and select Connectors

  • Choose Add connector, then Browse connectors

  • Search for Shipt and select Connect

  • Sign in to your Shipt account or create a new Shipt account

  • Begin your prompt with Shipt to start planning

A more intuitive future of shopping

At Shipt, no order is ordinary. Behind every shopping list is a real moment: a family dinner, a busy week, a celebration with friends, or one less thing to worry about.

By expanding its AI experiences across ChatGPT and Claude, Shipt is helping consumers move more confidently from "What should I do?" to "I'm ready."

These experiences represent another step toward a future where shopping is more proactive, conversational, and helpful — giving consumers a simpler way to turn everyday plans into action with less effort and greater confidence.
