Asking an AI for a meal plan works fine once. The problem is that nothing carries over: next week you re-type the rules, re-paste the output, and reformat the list yourself.
First week free · no card required · cancel online
The plan isn't the hard part — any decent model writes one. The hard part is that your household's rules, the meals everyone vetoed, what's already in the cupboard, and the schedule all have to persist and act on their own.
Your week is generated on the day and hour you choose and delivered to you. No prompt required.
Rules, permanent vetoes, ratings, pantry counters and your own recipes are stored and applied every time.
Swap one dinner and the grocery list updates to match — no re-pasting, no re-formatting.
One list, combined across meals and grouped by aisle, with checkboxes — not a wall of chat text to reorganize in the parking lot.
Generated by the same planner that writes your week.
| A general chatbot | OurKitchen | |
|---|---|---|
| Writes a good meal plan | Yes | Yes |
| Runs every week without being asked | No | Yes |
| Remembers banned foods and vetoes | Only within one chat | Stored and enforced in code |
| Knows what's already in your pantry | No | Yes, with shelf-life counters |
| Swapping a meal fixes the shopping list | No | Yes |
| Your own family recipes stay in rotation | No | Yes, served as written |
| Output is a checkable, aisle-sorted list | Chat text | Yes |
Describes what each tool does by design, not a benchmark. A chatbot can do any one of these when asked — the difference is that it stops when you stop asking.
AI drafts the week. The app then checks every meal against your saved rules in code and throws out anything that breaks one, and if the AI has an off day, tried-and-true favorites ship instead.
No — nothing is shipped to you. You shop at your own store and cook normal groceries.
Your first week is free with no card. After that it's $6.99/month or $59.99/year, and subscribing adds two more free weeks before the first charge.
Three questions, no account, and you'll see real dinners and the list that goes with them.
