## What is Maren?

Make dinner easier with Maren, your conversational cooking companion. Find recipes, plan the week, organize groceries, and remember what worked last time.

START WITH A CONVERSATION
Tell Maren what sounds good, how much time you have, and who you're cooking for. Get recipe options with ingredients, source details, and reasons they fit your request.

TURN IDEAS INTO DINNER
Choose a recipe to cook, save it to your cookbook, or put it on the calendar. Ask for another option when you're in a different mood.

PLAN YOUR WEEK
Review suggested dinners on actual dates, accept a plan, or swap an individual meal. Share meal plans with your household and keep dinner decisions together.

REMEMBER WHAT WORKED
After cooking, tell Maren whether you'd make the recipe again and what you'd change. Your recipe feedback can carry into later conversations. Keep a one-night preference separate from an ongoing one, and review or remove saved memories.

KEEP YOUR RECIPES HANDY
Save recipes from supported websites and video links to your personal cookbook. Open ingredients and instructions, adjust servings, and check off ingredients and steps as you cook.

ORGANIZE YOUR GROCERIES
Build shopping lists from recipes or meal plans, group items by category, and keep everyday essentials close by.

From the first dinner idea to the next week's plan, Maren helps you follow through.
