Plan weekly meals and order groceries automatically
A single dad had Hermes create meal plans and grocery orders, with a weekly cron job scraping the HEB ad for a meal-planning skill, needing only some steering.

Hermes drafts a meal plan and converts it into a grocery order.

The user manually logs in to bypass bot protection.; tools: Hermes Agent. Human role: The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.; limitations: Prerequisites include a valid Walmart account and manual login to bypass bot protection, as silent cron-style runs are likely to fail.

Overview
A single dad had Hermes create meal plans and grocery orders, with a weekly cron job scraping the HEB ad for a meal-planning skill, needing only some steering.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: The user provides personal health metrics (height, weight, dietary restrictions, goals) to Hermes Agent. Hermes drafts a meal plan and converts it into a grocery order. It uses Chrome DevTools/browser-control skills to interact with Walmart in Chromium, inspecting the DOM and running scripts to add items. The user manually logs in to bypass bot protection.
Reported result
Actual outcomes are unknown as the source returned a 403 error and no execution logs were provided. Proposed acceptance check: Verify that Hermes successfully adds all planned items to the Walmart cart after manual login, and correctly substitutes unavailable ingredients.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include a valid Walmart account and manual login to bypass bot protection, as silent cron-style runs are likely to fail. Integration uncertainty exists regarding the stability of DOM inspection scripts against website updates. Human approval is required for final order submission and payment.
Try it
Act as a user instructing an agent. I want to automate my weekly meal planning and grocery shopping using Hermes Agent. First, here are my inputs: [replaceable inputs: height, weight, dietary restrictions, weight-loss goal]. Please draft a meal plan based on these metrics. Next, convert this plan into a grocery list. I will manually log into Walmart in Chromium. Once logged in, use your browser-control skills to inspect the page DOM and add the items to the cart. If an item is unavailable, suggest a suitable substitute from the meal plan. Before finalizing, show me the cart contents for confirmation. Do not proceed to checkout without my explicit approval. If you encounter bot protection or login issues, stop and ask me to intervene. Measure success by the accuracy of the cart contents against the meal plan and the time saved compared to manual shopping.
