You know the feeling at six o'clock: the fridge is not empty, and there is still nothing to eat. mAIChef takes it from there. Say what you feel like — or photograph the fridge — and you get a recipe built around your diet, your equipment and the time you actually have. Not a recipe someone else wrote for someone else. ASK IN YOUR OWN WORDS Type it, dictate it, or take a photo. "Something with the chicken and the courgettes, thirty minutes, no dairy." The recipe arrives in about twenty seconds, with a photo of the dish. IT READS YOUR FRIDGE Up to five photos at once. It names what it sees — down to the butter next to the bread — and you cook from what is already there. NUTRITION THAT IS COUNTED, NOT GUESSED Calories and macros are computed from the ingredient list against a food database, with a breakdown per ingredient. Set calorie or macro targets and the plan is built to them. A WEEK OF MEALS, PLANNED Breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner, up to seven days, each with its time and its calories. One shopping list for the whole week, grouped by aisle, that knows what is already in your cupboard. BATCH PREP — COOK ONCE, EAT ALL WEEK Pick four dishes and mAIChef works out the order: which oven, which pan, which step goes while something else roasts. Then it runs the session with you — one step at a time, timers going, nothing forgotten. Four recipes in about an hour, instead of four evenings. COOK MODE Big type, hands-free voice, screen stays awake, timers per step. IT LEARNS WHAT YOU LIKE Rate what you cook. mAITaste picks up the cuisines, the ingredients and the effort level you keep coming back to, and the suggestions follow. NINE LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese — the recipes too, not only the buttons.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fig at none against mAIChef's 8. mAIChef's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
