AnnouncementProductSep 9, 2026

Instacart has launched Clementine, an AI shopping assistant available across North America on the Instacart Marketplace. The chatbot understands natural language, recommends recipes based on items available at the user's chosen store, and lets shoppers add ingredient lists to their cart with a tap. It can also restock pantry staples from previous orders and convert photos of handwritten grocery lists into item lists. Instacart says orders placed with Clementine typically exceed its $115 average basket size.
