What Cook Well AI can do

Cook Well AI is a cooking assistant you chat with. Find it in the Chat tab on your phone, or Chat in the sidebar on the web. It's included with a membership.

Ask it to

• Answer cooking questions: technique, swaps, timing, equipment, storing leftovers, food safety.
• Help you cook with what you have. Tell it what's in the fridge and it suggests what to make.
• Find Cook Well recipes. It shows them as cards you can tap to open.
• Write a recipe for you, or turn one you paste in into a recipe card. You can save it to your cookbook. See Save a recipe from chat.
• Build a grocery list for the meals you have in mind. You choose what goes on your list. See Make a grocery list with chat.
• Help with Cook Well itself, like where your favorites are or how to cancel.

To start, tap one of the suggestions in a new chat, like Cook with what I have, or type a question.

What it can't do

• Change anything for you. It doesn't save recipes, plan meals or add to your lists by itself. It hands you a card, and you choose what to keep.
• See your planner, lists or cookbook. Tell it what you've got planned, or paste in a list.
• Remember other chats. Each chat starts fresh.
• See photos, open links or read files. It works with text only.
• Talk about things other than food and cooking. It'll steer you back to the kitchen.

Ask about one recipe

Every recipe and framework in Cook Well has Ask Cook Well, a chat about just that dish. See Ask about a recipe.
