What else can you ask once this one’s working?

Ask it to build next week's grocery list from whatever's still missing. Also: Add a constraint like 'freezer-friendly' or 'kid will actually eat it' and watch it adapt. Also: Have it flag which nights need under 20 minutes.

Photograph your fridge → get a week of dinners

Steal this promptHere's a photo of the inside of my fridge and pantry. Plan 5 dinners I can make using mostly what you see, fewest extra ingredients possible. For each: name, 5-step method, and a tiny shopping list of anything missing. We're 2 adults + 1 picky kid.

What you'll get

Five realistic dinners built around what you already have, plus a 6-item shopping list instead of a $200 run.

Why this actually matters

Most people default to takeout because deciding what to cook is the actual chore, not the cooking itself.

Take it further ↑

This is a one-off you can run in any chat. The real magic is making it repeat — ask AI to do it every week, keep it as a living system, or have it build you a tool that does it for you. That jump from "neat trick" to "runs my work" is exactly what the ∞ apps are for.
