AI assistant — build and edit a recipe by conversation

The recipe builder has an "AI assistant" button — it opens a chat panel next to the recipe form. You can type or speak (a microphone button sits next to the input field): dictate the dish's name, the ingredients with quantities (or say "to taste" when there's no exact amount), and the cooking steps — the assistant works out what you said and fills in the recipe form right in front of you: title, category, cuisine, cooking time, ingredient list, steps. You can dictate in parts, over several messages — the assistant remembers what you've already told it in this conversation. If you open the assistant on a recipe you've already saved, it sees its full content and can give you professional advice — what to add for a better flavor balance, how to change the cooking technique, what to substitute for an ingredient. You can attach a photo — for example, take a picture of something you have on hand and ask whether it can replace something in the recipe; the assistant looks at the photo and answers directly, updating the ingredient list itself if needed. Once the recipe is complete (it has a title, ingredients and at least one step), the assistant asks — once per conversation — whether you'd like it translated into the site's other languages; say yes, and it gets translated and published automatically (see "Translating a recipe into other languages" in this same section). Available on the Pro plan. Every message spends from your AI balance — see "AI balance: topping up and what it's spent on" for details.
