Update on Crawdad 🦞 (my AI Assistant running on @clawdbot by @steipete )
Tonight we built a full weekly meal planning system in Notion.
My wife and I take turns cooking, so we had Crawdad set up:
- Master meal plan template for all of 2026 (365 days)
- Shopping lists sorted by store and aisle (Kroger/Costco/Lowes)
- Weather forecast auto-updating on the meal plan list (helps me plan good nights for grilling, soup, etc)
- Our go-to recipes catalogued by chef
- It'll remind me in morning/evening digests if I need to plan dinner or grab groceries.
I imagine that this will save us at least an hour a week.
