FAQ
What if it misreads something?
It can: in our own run it took half a red cabbage for a red onion. That is why the list comes first — check it, swap the odd item in the recipe, or retake the photo with the food closer to the camera.
Does it know if food is still good?
No. It only sees what is there, not how old it is. Use your own judgement on freshness.
Are allergies taken into account?
What you list under “anything to avoid” is left out of every recipe. Still read the labels of anything you buy — the recipes cannot see what is in a product.
What does it assume I already have?
Salt, pepper, oil, water and sugar. Anything else not in the photo is marked “to buy”, at most two per recipe.
Is it free to try?
Yes — new accounts get free credits. Generating signs you in; paid plans add more monthly credits.
