PREPARATION & ACTION · PLANNED

Prepare a grocery basket around your plans

A useful shopping request starts with meals and constraints, not just a list of products. A basket for breakfast, packed lunches and a vegetarian dinner needs different quantities, storage and substitutions. A person or AI assistant can turn those needs into a brief someone can follow.

WHEN IT HELPS

A request with a purpose.

Meal planning, a first shop after travelling, office refreshments or helping someone prepare a practical weekly basket.

THE REQUEST BRIEF

What to include.

  1. List the meals, people, quantities and dietary requirements; distinguish preferences from allergens.

  2. Set the store or collection area, maximum total and any packaging or chilled-storage requirements.

  3. Specify which substitutions are allowed and which need approval before purchase.

  4. Choose a preparation window and how the basket would be collected or handed over.

REVIEW THE OUTCOME

What counts as a useful result?

An itemised list with quantities, approved substitutions, actual cost and a confirmed collection arrangement. A photo alone cannot prove ingredients or dietary suitability.

Know the limits.

Shopping and checkout are planned. ProofTerra currently cannot buy groceries, hold a basket at a store, guarantee stock or charge a payment method.

Common questions.

Can an AI assistant order this basket through ProofTerra today?

No. The guide helps prepare the request; agent ordering, store coordination and payments are not available yet.

What if an item is unavailable?

The planned workflow needs an explicit substitution rule. If the proposed change exceeds the budget or conflicts with dietary requirements, pause for the customer's approval.
