What is ChefGPT?
ChefGPT is an AI cooking assistant for home cooks. You list what’s in your kitchen or search for a dish, and it suggests recipes you can make. It also helps people who track their diet hit nutrition goals.
The app is split into modes: PantryChef for cooking with what you have, MasterChef for recipe ideas, MacrosChef for macro-friendly meals and MealPlanChef for full weekly plans with a shopping list. You can also snap a photo of a meal to log its estimated nutrition, and keep a running pantry list so it can suggest ways to use ingredients before they spoil.
It suits busy households, people counting calories or macros, and anyone who wants new dinner ideas without scrolling recipe sites.
