If you are interested in understanding and trying to learn about AI, you can subscribe for free to The Rundown AI, a daily newsletter that arrives in your inbox. An interesting section in the newsletter “Community AI Workflows” showcases “how a reader is using AI to work smarter, save time, or make life easier.”
For example, from May 12, 2026:
Today’s workflow comes from reader Sasha M. in Cape Coral Florida:
I have a family of 5, and planning what we have for dinner was a nightmare. I have a Trello board full of hundreds of recipes that I use to plan our meals, and then I would place a grocery delivery order online. The whole process would take up to an hour.
I built a Claude plugin that includes multiple skills to help plan meals and order groceries. I have it on a schedule to run once a week. First, it asks me for details about the week: our schedule, any days that I’ll have fewer than 5 people eating etc. Using an MCP to Trello, the first Claude Skill picks out 7 recipes and presents them to me. Once I’ve approved the meal plan, Claude then creates an ingredients list that I check off anything I already have in my fridge/pantry. The plugin then runs a skill that goes to my grocery store website and adds all the ingredients to my cart. All I have to do is check the cart and click ‘Order.’
Are you ready for a new way to plan meals?
