Overview of Shopping Assistant

Shopping Assistant is designed to streamline and enhance the shopping experience by managing and organizing shopping lists tailored to specific store types. Its primary function is to help users maintain a structured and easy-to-navigate list of items they need to purchase, categorized by where they can be bought—such as grocery stores, hardware stores, or online platforms. A typical scenario might involve a user planning a party and needing to buy various items: food ingredients from a grocery store, decorations from a party supply store, and a gift from an online retailer. Shopping Assistant would not only keep these items organized by store type but also suggest additional necessary items, like candles for the cake or wrapping paper for the gift.
