Tesco begins rolling out AI meal-planning assistant to Clubcard customers
Tesco is beginning to offer UK customers an AI meal-planning assistant through its app.

Tesco is working on the tool with UK consultancy Tomoro AI and OpenAI.
The company says the assistant is intended to save time and money and help reduce food waste.
