From "biryani for six" to a full cart

"Biryani for six" is four words. It's also missing the rice brand, the cut of meat, how much chili a household actually wants, and whether "six" means six adults or six plates split with kids. A shopping list this vague is exactly the kind of request that breaks a keyword search — and exactly the kind Stu is built to handle.

Behind the scenes, that sentence turns into a recipe shape: proportions for a pot that size, an ingredient list, substitutions for anything out of stock. Then each ingredient gets matched against Jourts' actual catalog — not a generic "rice" SKU, but whichever rice, whichever pack size, is actually sitting on the shelf that day.

The part that matters for a store owner isn't the matching logic, it's what lands in the cart: quantities scaled to six people, not one, and complements a shopper would have forgotten — the yogurt for the raita, the extra onions for the garnish — sitting right there without having to be asked for by name.

Watch it happen once, live, against a real store, and the pitch stops being about AI capability and starts being about basket size.
