Reorder Last Week's Groceries
For the weekly shop. DuckyHelper learns Instacart's web API the first time, reads your last order, puts everything back in the cart in one go with your changes, swaps out-of-stock items for close matches, and waits for you to slide to pay.
“Reorder last week's Instacart groceries, add a dozen eggs, and get it ready for checkout.”

It's built to stop at checkout.
It fills everything in and is built to stop before paying. You see what it's buying and the total, then slide to pay or say not now. Your saved card stays yours: DuckyHelper is built not to type the number.
If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.

Example amounts
Do it once. Then let it repeat.
When it's done, it offers to keep doing it: every Monday at 9:00 AM. Each run goes through the API it learned the first time, so it's quick, and it's still built to ask before it sends or pays.
Always-on automations are in early access on Mac.
Before you ask it.
What do I say?
Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Reorder last week's Instacart groceries, add a dozen eggs, and get it ready for checkout."
Why is the second time faster?
The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Instacart and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.
Will it pay without me?
It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.
Why not just do it by hand?
A weekly order is mostly the same list, but you still search for and add each item by hand.
Can it keep doing this on its own?
Yes. When it's done it offers to make it automatic (every Monday at 9:00 AM). Each run goes the same way and is still built to ask before it sends or pays.
