Make a grocery list with chat
Tell Cook Well AI what you're cooking and it drafts a list. Pick the items you need, then add them to one of your lists.
Updated November 12, 2026
Tell Cook Well AI what you're planning to cook, or tap Get groceries in a new chat. It drafts a grocery list as a card in the chat. Nothing is added to your lists until you choose to.
- Tap the grocery list card.
- Tap the items you need. Swipe left on one and tap the trash to remove it, or tap Add Ingredient to add something.
- Tap Add … items to Groceries, pick a list, then tap Done.
At the top, switch between Recipe and Aisle to group the items differently.
- Choose the grocery list card.
- Pick the items you need. Hover over an item and choose the trash to remove it, or choose Add ingredient to add something.
- Pick a list, or choose New list, then choose Add … items to Groceries.
The card shows Added once the items are on your list. To change the list, ask Cook Well AI in the same chat, like “take out the dairy” or “add breakfast for three days”.
Cook Well AI can't see the lists you already have. If you're adding to a list that has things on it, look over what's there first.
