I made Zepto & Instamart compete with each other from my Telegram using Claude

I made Zepto & Instamart compete with each other from my Telegram using Claude

So, I made Zepto & Instamart compete with each other from my Telegram using Claude.

Last week, I set up an automation using Claude Code Routines that ordered milk for me daily. It is working great. Kudos to team Zepto for this MCP. 

Today, I came across official Swiggy MCPs. Coincidentally, I had to order Bicycle playing cards (I just love the quality of the cards). Of course, I wanted to compare prices in both Zepto and Instamart, and I can use the apps on my mobile phone to:

  • Manually search for the item.
  • Manually add it to the cart.
  • Manually proceed to checkout to find the final price.
  • And then switch to another app, follow the same steps, and compare in my mind.

But now I know both these MCPs exist (I wish the official Blinkit MCP also existed), I planned to use Claude to achieve this.

Humanness

Be curious, not judgmental - a quote by Ted Lasso

Let’s say I have to meet you at a place 10 km away from my home, as a human, I have the capabilities to walk, but also capable enough to drive a car. Would driving a car to reach you (eventually saving time and effort) make me less human compared to completely walking to you?

Another example: Let’s say I ask you to calculate 828 x 903. Would using a calculator make you a bot rather than calculating entirely in your mind?

I faced some backlash on Reddit for using AI-generated text in my post. Please note – AI just refined what I wanted to say and shared my experience in the real world. People started calling things like “you are a bot” or “at least be human to share what is yours”.

I Taught Claude to Order My Milk Every Morning from Zepto

Logos of Claude & Zepto with a milk pack.

Hi there 👋

So, I did a thing. I automated my daily milk ordering on Zepto using Claude Code Routines and Zepto’s MCP server. Every morning, while I’m still half-asleep, Claude wakes up in the cloud, opens Zepto, searches for my milk, adds a protein bar because I promised myself I’d eat healthier, checks the cart total, confirms free delivery, picks my address, pays with Zepto Cash, and places the order.

By the time I actually open my eyes, the delivery person is already on his way.

Let me walk you through the whole journey: the problem, and the eventual “wait, this actually works?!” moment.

It’s a journey, however frustrating it is, of self discovery I am dealing with right now. Don’t confuse it with the purpose of life. I don’t know and I don’t care (for now) because I am alive and living life. There’s only one other choice – Death, which I don’t want to choose.

An Applet created on IFTTT, that reminds me to drink a glass of water whenever a meeting ends.

In his book Atomic Habits, James Clear mentioned that new habits could be added to your life by adding them to old habits. This is called habit stacking.

The habit stacking formula is: “After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].”

I am using IFTTT to stack my new habit. I have set up an Applet that will remind me to drink water after every meeting. Here’s how to do it:

Just listen to these songs.

I want to share the songs going on my mind all the time, and I’m playing them recurringly. Here are these songs:

  1. Dazed and confused – Led Zepellin (especially the live version from the song remains the same).
  2. Shine on you crazy diamond – Pink Floyd.
  3. Hey you – Pink Floyd.
  4. Love of my life – Queen.
  5. Dumb – Nirvana.
  6. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen.
  7. Imagine – John Lennon.
  8. The man who sold the world – Nirvana.

God bless these songs and the bands. They have been really helping me especially when my mind is in the state of bedlam.
