Product Overview

Problem

People struggle with daily meal decisions due to mood, time, diet constraints, and not knowing what to cook with available ingredients — leading to unhealthy choices and wasted groceries.

What it solves

The app detects your mood, remembers preferences, and recommends meals you can actually make — then explains why each option fits your mood and nutrition goals.

Mood-aware recommendations

Suggests meals based on user mood and preferences, with easy swaps for dietary needs.

Ingredient-first planning

Add available ingredients; the AI prioritizes recipes that use what you already have.

Nutrition tracking

Calories plus macro/micro estimates per meal, with daily summaries.

Explainability

Shows "why this meal" — mood fit, ingredients matched, and nutrition goal alignment.
