## What is Anychef?

Dinner, solved. Point your camera at your fridge and Anychef turns what you already have into real recipes, made for your diet, your allergies, your schedule, your budget, and the pans you actually own.

STOCK YOUR PANTRY IN SECONDS
• Scan your fridge or counter and AI picks out the ingredients, amounts included
• Or speak them, type them, or tap them from the catalog
• Anychef keeps track so recipes always start from what you really have

RECIPES MADE FOR YOU, NOT THE CROWD
• Tell Anychef your diet: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, keto, paleo, kosher, halal, or anything goes
• Allergies are strictly enforced. Recipes with your allergens never reach your screen
• It knows your skill level, spice tolerance, time budget, household size, and whether you're feeding kids
• It only uses equipment you own. No blender? No blender recipes.

KNOW BEFORE YOU COOK
• Every recipe shows time, difficulty, calories, protein, and estimated cost per serving
• See exactly what you have and what you'd need to grab
• "Only my ingredients" mode builds meals with zero shopping required

PLAN THE WEEK, SHOP ONCE
• Swipe through dishes to build your meal plan
• Every planned dish rolls into one tidy, combined grocery list
• Check items off at the store and they land in your pantry automatically

COOK WITH CONFIDENCE
• Step-by-step cook mode with one clear step at a time
• Built-in timers with alarms, and the screen stays awake
• Stuck mid-recipe? Ask the built-in assistant anything: swaps, doneness cues, or "explain this step simply"

WORKS WHEN THE WIFI DOESN'T
• Nearly 2,000 built-in recipes and an on-device recipe engine
• Your pantry, plans, and saved recipes live on your phone
