Instacart Launches AI-Driven Tools to Revolutionize Grocery Shopping

The new Store View and Second Store Check features aim to enhance inventory tracking and customer satisfaction, with broader rollouts planned through 2025.

• Instacart has officially launched its Store View feature, allowing shoppers to earn money by capturing videos of store shelves to improve inventory tracking and restocking predictions.
• The AI-powered Store View tool uses computer vision to analyze shelf footage, identifying in-stock and out-of-stock items and informing predictive restocking models.
• Second Store Check, another newly launched feature, prompts a second shopper to source out-of-stock items from another store and deliver them without additional fees.
• Both features are rolling out with select retailers in the US and Canada, with plans for broader adoption across North America throughout 2025.
• Future advancements include integrating outward-facing cameras into Caper Carts for real-time inventory updates, further enhancing the shopping experience.
