What's for dinner?
Your kitchen already knows.
FoodGenie is the AI-powered kitchen for people who actually cook. It plans your meals, tracks what's in your fridge, builds your shopping list, and never lets the basil wilt unnoticed.
One connected kitchen.
Six things that finally talk to each other.
Every meal-planning app does one or two of these. FoodGenie does all six — and the magic is they share the same brain.
The stuff you'll actually use.
Not 40 features no one touches. Six tools that earn their place in your weekly rhythm.
An AI sous-chef that knows what's in your kitchen, what you like, and what you've already planned this week.

Like having a chef-friend who knows your fridge.
Ask anything. The Genie answers using your menu, your inventory, your dietary profile, and what you've already planned. No more “I have 4 ingredients, what can I make?” rabbit holes.
What we're hearing from early testers.
“It's the first meal-planning app where the AI actually feels useful. The Genie suggested using my wilting basil before I would have noticed.”
“Saturday morning planning used to take 40 minutes of arguing. Now it's coffee + 10 minutes. The shopping list literally writes itself.”
“I have a tree-nut allergy and every other recipe app eventually suggested almond butter. FoodGenie never has — that's the standard.”
Things real people ask.
