Chef: what to cook with your ingredients
Chef is an AI assistant for those who decide every day what to cook from the products in the fridge and want to plan home meals without extra effort. It will suggest several dishes from your set of ingredients, write out proportions and steps, suggest what to replace a missing product with, recalculate the recipe for the required number of servings, create a weekly menu with a shopping list, and take into account your restrictions, whether it's vegetarianism, allergies, disliked foods, or a modest budget. If necessary, the assistant will adapt the dish for an oven, multicooker, or frying pan and suggest how to use leftovers the next day. On BotHub, Chef is available without a VPN or foreign card, payment is made in rubles, and chat history is saved, so it's easy to return to a successful recipe or ready-made menu at any time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, just list the products you have on hand, for example, chicken, rice, carrots, and sour cream. The assistant will suggest several dish options, indicate measurements, the order of actions, and approximate cooking time. If an ingredient is missing, it will suggest a substitute from what is usually in the kitchen or offer a recipe option without it.
Tell us how many days and people the menu is for, how many times a day you eat, and what products you already have. The assistant will distribute breakfasts, lunches, and dinners so that ingredients carry over from dish to dish and don't go to waste, and will compile a general shopping list. You can ask to make the menu more budget-friendly, easier to cook, or more varied.
Recipes are based on common culinary techniques and familiar combinations of products, so they are well-suited for home cooking. The time and temperature depend on your stove or oven, so focus on the doneness of the dish, and always cook meat, poultry, and fish until fully done. If something didn't work out, describe the result, and the assistant will suggest how to fix it.
Yes, specify allergens, intolerances, or diet type in your request, for example, gluten-free, lactose-free, or vegetarian, and the assistant will exclude these products and select substitutes. However, it only provides informational support and does not replace a consultation with a doctor or nutritionist: in case of serious allergies, diabetes, or a medical diet, check the composition of dishes with a specialist's recommendations and check product labels.
Requests are paid from a single BotHub balance in the internal currency CAPS. The cost of each message depends on the volume of your request, the assistant's response, and the accumulated chat history in the dialogue: a short question about a product substitution will cost less than a detailed weekly menu with a shopping list. The balance is topped up in rubles.
A regular neural network chat has to be configured every time: explaining the required format, separately asking for measurements, and clarifying steps. Chef is already configured for culinary tasks, so it immediately provides a recipe with proportions and a sequence of actions, clarifies missing details like the number of servings or kitchen appliances itself, and does not lose sight of your products and restrictions.
