Using Meal Planner
Let's start with who eats what, and how much time you really have. Then we plan five dinners.
2It learns your family
It learns how your family eats.
A few short questions cover who eats, what each person needs, and how much time you have. Allergies and other hard requirements stay separate from likes and dislikes.
3A week of dinners
A week of dinners, planned for you.
Your AI drafts five dinners that fit your time and the people at the table. Nothing is final until you accept the plan.
Prefer to choose each night? Ask for a flexible pool of meals instead of set days.

4One grocery list
Five dinners, one grocery list.
The list comes from the plan, with quantities for the whole week. Tell it what you already have, and it leaves those items off. Meal Planner does not order groceries.

5Tell it
Cook it. Tell it how it went.
Say it in the chat. Meal Planner saves what you cooked, what you skipped, and why. A plan is not proof that dinner happened. Your report is.
Cooked four. Wednesday is soccer. We got takeout.

Meals with clear limits
Meal Planner is an AI assisted planning and recordkeeping tool for adults age 18 and older. It does not prescribe clinical diets, set calorie or weight loss targets, or certify that a recipe or restaurant is safe for an allergy. Food requirements and storage information are your reports, not allergy or food safety certification. For a suspected allergic reaction, get emergency help first and follow your prescribed emergency plan.
Meal Planner does not order groceries, follow store prices, or keep a guaranteed pantry inventory. Cost figures are estimates. Named cooks and eaters do not receive invitations or notifications. Calendar events and reminders depend on separate host capabilities and authorization.
