文档
Your AI agent plans dinner.Your family votes.
Agent Chef is a tiny app your own AI agent runs once a week: it proposes ten dinners, the household votes and leaves feedback on their phones, the top three win, and the agent builds the grocery cart. Bring Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent that speaks MCP.
Your agent
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor… checks in once or twice a day, asks Agent Chef what's due, writes the recipes, sends the messages, fills the cart.
⇄
Agent Chef
Remembers everything: preferences, pantry, ballots, votes, feedback, ratings, orders. Decides what happens next. Serves the vote pages.
⇄
Your household
Each person gets a personal link. No app, no account: tap, vote for five, add a comment, rate last week's dinner.
The agent proposes ten dinners
Your agent reads the household's preferences, favorites, past winners and what's in the pantry, then proposes ten recipes with photos and sends everyone their vote link. Recipe writing is the agent's job; photos, links and messages are the app's.

Everyone votes and weighs in
Five votes each. Tallies, who voted for what, and comments are visible to the whole household, so the slow voters get nudged and "we had pork last week" is out in the open. The agent reads the feedback and adds a few more options to the ballot.

Winners, then the cart
Voting closes on the day and time the household picks. The top three win, the agent announces them, builds a shopping list minus what's already on hand, fills the online cart following your shopping preferences, and stops before checkout for a human yes.

Connect your agent in two minutes
Pick your agent in Settings and you get a key plus exact steps. From then on the whole loop is one sentence your agent runs on a schedule: "Run Agent Chef." The agent asks the app what's due and does it, so it never has to remember where the week stands.

The meal-kit experience without the meal-kit markup
Meal kits charge $10 to $13 a serving to pick your dinners for you. Planning apps charge monthly and still send you to the store. Agent Chef does the planning with an agent you already have, lets your family choose the menu by vote, and buys ordinary groceries from your usual store.
| Meal kits | Planning apps | Agent Chef | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who picks dinner | Their menu | Their recipes | Your family votes |
| Groceries | Shipped, pre-portioned | You shop | Cart filled at your store |
| Feedback | Rate after delivery | None | Comments shape the ballot; ratings shape next week |
| Cost | $10–13 per serving | $5–10 a month | Free during early access; a few dollars a month later. Plus your groceries. |
Questions
Which agents work?
Anything that can connect to a remote MCP server: Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, Code), ChatGPT and Codex, Cursor, or your own script. The agent needs a browser tool for the grocery step; the rest is plain tool calls.
Do family members need accounts?
No. Each member gets a personal link by text or email. Only the household owner signs in, with an email link or Google.
How does the agent know what to do?
It asks. Each time your agent checks in, Agent Chef tells it exactly what's due that day: propose this week's dinners, send the ballot, nudge whoever hasn't voted, add a couple of options if someone asked, close the vote, or build the cart. Nothing to remember, nothing gets sent twice, and a missed day is simply picked up the next time it checks in.
Does it order groceries by itself?
It fills the cart and stops. Checkout always waits for explicit approval in your conversation with the agent.
What does it cost?
Nothing during early access. Later it will be a small monthly fee per household, a few dollars, not a meal-kit bill. You pay separately for your own agent (Claude, ChatGPT) and, of course, your groceries.
