Meal Planner

With the Meal Planner GENI puts together a weekly menu around your diet, household size and budget, and adds the shopping list to go with it.

Available from Growth. No connection needed.

What can GENI do with it?

• Generate a weekly menu based on your preferences, diet, allergies, cuisine and budget
• Build a shopping list for that menu, grouped so you do not walk the aisles three times

GENI first checks your memory for what it already knows (diet, allergies, number of people) and only asks for what is missing. Set that up once and you never have to repeat it.

Example: what you ask, what you get

Make a weekly menu for 2 people, vegetarian, no nuts

Weekly menu , 2 people, vegetarian, nut-free

Day	Dinner	Prep time
Mon	Lentil stew with roasted carrot	35 min
Tue	Shakshuka with feta	25 min
Wed	Pasta with roasted pepper and ricotta	30 min
Thu	Chickpea and spinach curry	40 min
Fri	Vegetable tart with salad	45 min
Sat	Gnocchi with sage butter and squash	25 min
Sun	Aubergine bake	55 min

Two dishes share their base (pepper, onion), so you buy that in one go. Shall I add the shopping list?

And then:

Yes, shopping list please

Shopping , week 32

Fruit & veg: 3 peppers, 1 aubergine, 400 g spinach, 1 squash, 4 carrots, 2 onions, garlic, fresh sage Dairy: feta 200 g, ricotta 250 g, 6 eggs Store cupboard: 400 g lentils, 2 tins chickpeas, pasta 500 g, gnocchi 500 g

Requirements

• Plan: Growth and up
• Connection: none

Activating

1. Go to Dashboard -> Skills and activate Meal Planner
2. Tell it once what your diet, allergies and household size are
3. Ask for a weekly menu

What it costs

See The credit system.

Limits

• GENI orders nothing. You get a list; the shopping stays yours.
• Prices are estimates. It does not know the current shelf price at your supermarket.
• Food safety is not medical advice. With an allergy or a medical diet, check the labels yourself.
• It does not know what you already have unless you say so. Mention it and it takes that into account.
• Menus are weekly. A month in one go becomes unmanageably long.

Troubleshooting

The menu ignores my allergy. Put the allergy in your memory rather than in a single message, so it applies every time.

The portions are off. State the number of people explicitly, and whether children are eating along.

Too many separate ingredients. Ask for a menu that shares ingredients, or cap the number of products.

Too expensive. Give it a weekly budget and it steers towards cheaper base ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine dietary requirements? Yes. Vegetarian plus gluten-free plus a budget in one request works fine.

Can it take last week into account? If you ask. Say "no pasta again" or ask for variation against last week.

Can I get this weekly on a schedule? Yes, through Scheduled tasks, for example a menu and list every Saturday morning.

Do I get recipes too? You get dishes with prep times. Ask about one dish for the full method.
