## What is Ask Chef?

AskChef is a voice-first cooking assistant designed to help you cook with less friction, manage your favorite recipes in your cookbook, and a supercharged grocery list.

Save a recipe and ask recipe questions to AskChef without stopping to scroll, search, or touch your phone with messy hands.

AskChef is built for real kitchen moments: wet hands, noisy rooms, tight timing, and divided attention. It keeps the cooking flow calm, readable, and focused.

AskChef does not replace your judgment in the kitchen. When recipe information is missing or unclear, the app is designed to avoid guessing and help you stay aware of what came from the recipe.
