Meet Otto, your AI sous chef
Natural language meal planning, real-time cooking help, and recipe picks that actually learn your taste.
Understands your preferences
Tell Otto what you like once, and it remembers. "More protein," "vegetarian on Tuesdays," "kid-friendly" — it adapts.
Chat while you cook
Ask questions mid-recipe. "Can I substitute coconut milk?" "How do I know when it's done?" Otto has answers.
Learns from your swipes
Every recipe you keep or skip trains the algorithm. Your meal plans get better every week.
Talk to Otto hands-free
Flour on your hands? Switch to voice while you cook — live audio conversations with 8 selectable voices.
Chat with Otto
Ask Otto anything about your recipe...
Everything else
on the line
The parts that make meal planning feel less like a chore and more like a kitchen you actually want to be in.
Swipe through recipes
A Tinder-style interface with smooth gestures. Swipe right to keep, left to skip — Otto learns either way.
Fullscreen, hands-free cooking
Step-by-step instructions with an ingredient checklist, screen wake lock, and AI chat for questions mid-recipe.
Aisle-ordered lists, Instacart-ready
Your plan becomes an aisle-organized shopping list automatically — and one click pre-fills an Instacart cart (US & Canada). Checkout happens on Instacart.
Learn while you cook
26 learning paths and 500+ lessons — knife skills, mother sauces, fermentation and more — woven into your meal plan so you practice the technique on that night's dinner.
Snap your pantry, cook tonight
Photograph your fridge or pantry and AI vision turns it into inventory — then "What can I cook tonight?" ranks your recipes by what you already have on hand.
