A week of family meals
Show AI a few meals your family already likes, and it can plan a week that fits your tastes and your time.
01 · The idea
Deciding what to cook every single day is tiring. A chatbot can plan seven dinners at once, plus one combined shopping list, so you shop once or twice instead of every afternoon.
The trick is examples. Tell it three or four meals your family loves, such as canh chua, thịt kho trứng or rau muống xào tỏi. With those examples it can guess your taste far better than with "plan Vietnamese meals".
Add the real limits: how much time you have on weekdays, who will not eat fish, a grandparent who needs less salt, a child who eats at school at noon. Ask it to reuse ingredients across days so less goes to waste.
If a family member has a medical diet, such as for diabetes or kidney disease, follow the doctor's or dietitian's advice first and ask AI only to fit meals around it.
02 · Think of it like this
It is like a new cook who tastes a few of your family's favourite dishes before planning the menu. After that, the plan feels like your kitchen.
