The product

One system, not four
disconnected features.

KAI holds a single model of your kitchen. Inventory feeds planning, planning feeds shopping, and cooking updates inventory again. The loop is the product.

01

What do I have?

Inventory

Add items by scan, photo, voice, or list. KAI tracks quantity and freshness windows per item and per storage location, and keeps the record current as you cook from it.

  • Freshness windows by category, not printed date alone
  • Quantities that decrement when a dish is cooked
  • Works offline; nothing uploaded by default

02

What should I cook?

Planning

Matching runs deterministically against what exists. Ranking then considers what is expiring, how much time you have, who is eating, and what your household actually likes.

  • Use-it-first ranking to reduce waste
  • Household constraints: allergies, diets, dislikes
  • Substitution logic that keeps a dish viable

03

What should I buy?

Shopping

Your list is computed as the difference between what you own and what you intend to make, plus staples below threshold. Recommendations, where present, are labeled.

  • One list, derived from real intent
  • Staple thresholds you control
  • Clear labeling on any sponsored suggestion

04

How do I cook it?

Cooking

Step guidance calibrated to your skill level, with the reasoning included. KAI explains why a step exists so the next dish needs less assistance than the last.

  • Skill-aware instruction depth
  • Live substitutions mid-cook
  • Technique notes drawn from chef packs

Where AI belongs

Deterministic where correctness matters. Intelligent where judgment helps.

Counting, matching, expiry math, and list generation are computed operations with predictable results. Language models are used for the parts that genuinely benefit from judgment — interpreting a messy pantry photo, rewriting a method for a smaller pan, explaining a technique in the way you learn best.

We would rather ship a smaller set of dependable answers than a larger set of confident guesses.
