How to get AI cooking help while cooking

The Cooking assistant gives recipe-specific AI cooking help while you are actively cooking in MyMealVault. Ask about the recipe in front of you, like what to substitute, how to tell when something is done, or how to fix a mistake.

1. Open a recipe

   From Home, Recipes, or your meal plan, open the recipe you want to cook.

2. Start cooking

   Tap Start cooking and choose your serving size.

3. Open Cooking assistant

   Tap the sparkles button in Cooking Mode to open the Cooking assistant.

4. Ask about this recipe

   Type a question in Ask about this recipe, or tap a quick prompt like Substitute ingredient, Is this done?, Make it spicier, Explain a step, or Fix a mistake.

What you can ask

The assistant is designed for in-the-moment recipe help. It can suggest ingredient substitutions, explain a step, help with doneness, make the recipe milder or spicier, and offer dietary swaps like dairy-free options.
