## What is Stella?

Stella is an AI-powered meal planner built for real households — where people can use their recipes, diets, and preferences without having to spend hours on Sunday building a recipe and grocery list.

Chat with Stella like a smart sous chef:
• "What should we make this week?"
• "Plan four weeknight meals that take under 30 minutes."
• "We have chicken, spinach, and leftover rice — what's for dinner?"

Stella knows your saved recipes, your household size, your dietary preferences, and what's in your pantry. She builds the plan — you adjust it however you want.

KEY FEATURES

→ AI meal planning
Tell Stella what you want (or don't want) this week and she drafts a plan that respects your diet, your household size, and how often you actually cook. Adjust any day with a tap.

→ One smart grocery list
Every recipe's ingredients get aggregated into one list, categorized by aisle and split into bulk runs versus weekly-fresh stores. Items already in your pantry are flagged so you don't double-buy.

→ Save any recipe, from anywhere
Paste a URL, snap a photo, screenshot an Instagram or TikTok post, upload a PDF cookbook page. Stella parses it into a clean recipe card with ingredients, instructions, and nutrition estimates.

→ Leftovers that actually get eaten
After a meal, a quick tap saves the leftovers. When you plan tomorrow with Stella, she'll suggest using them up before they expire — no food wasted.

→ Household sharing
Invite your partner or roommates. Shared recipes, shared meal plans, shared grocery list. Per-member permissions for who can edit what.

→ Works with your kitchen
Barcode scanning for pantry items. Receipt upload for post-shop pantry sync.
