goodfoodAn assistant that plans the week's dinners, writes the Fry's list sorted by aisle, and talks you through cooking with your hands full.

It knows what's in the pantry. It knows what you've rated. It knows what bacon costs this week. It works. We are looking into how this happened.

FINDINGS

How it happened.

✓
The consultant was allowed near a kitchenHe was hungry and unsupervised. Every subsequent finding follows from this one.
✓
The assistant can actually touch the dataPantry, ratings, calendar, list — it reads and writes them mid-conversation instead of producing a paragraph you retype.
✓
It learns whose taste is whoseTwo users, separate ratings. "She gave it two stars" is a fact it plans around.
✓
The list sorts itself by sectionProduce, meat, dairy, spices — in the order you walk the store. Prices from the store's own API.
✓
Cook mode is hands-freeSteps read aloud; ask "how hot is medium-high" out loud and get an answer. The pantry is deducted when you finish.
BUT WAIT — THERE'S LESS

There is no signup. There is no link. There is no pricing tier. There is one household, and it has eaten well.
