An example built from catalog recipes, not a personalised plan. To ask for your own, open /chat?q= followed by what you want to cook; the page lists matching catalog recipes, their grocery list and a cart link.

Conversational context — the chat's defining feature

Say "easy keto lunches under 400 calories." The AI picks recipes. Then say "make that gluten-free" — every recipe updates in place without restarting the prompt. Add "also nothing with almonds" and it applies that constraint on top of the previous ones. You can stack dietary rules, swap a single recipe ("replace the salmon"), scale servings ("make it for 6"), and ask follow-up questions mid-flow. No other entry point on AislePrompt preserves this running context.

Bilingual — full English and Spanish interface

The entire chat interface switches between English and Spanish from the header. Use chat natively in Spanish ("cenas fáciles para cuatro personas sin gluten") — the assistant parses either language and returns matching recipe suggestions. The recipe content itself (titles, ingredient lists, instructions) is returned in English; the header toggle localizes the interface, not the catalog. The bilingual session carries across multi-turn conversations — you can switch languages mid-chat and context is preserved. For the end-to-end pipeline that powers every chat response (recipe selection, list building, pantry deduction, Instacart handoff), see How AislePrompt Works.

Three multi-turn sessions, start to finish

The chat earns its place when the second and third messages change the answer. Three example sessions:

Narrowing a vague craving. "Something warm with chicken" → "under 30 minutes" → "no cream, my partner is lactose-intolerant" → "swap the second one for something with rice." Four turns, one short list of dairy-free weeknight chicken dishes, one cart.

Cooking for a mixed table. "Dinner for six on Saturday" → "one guest is vegetarian" → "keep one meat main for everyone else" → "scale the vegetarian dish to two servings." The session keeps both mains and sizes each ingredient list to its own headcount.

Working around a budget. "Cheap high-protein lunches" → "no fish" → "reuse the same ingredients across all three" → "make it for one person." The last turn rescales every quantity without losing the earlier rules. Shared ingredients land on the list once, not summed across the three recipes, so check those totals against the recipes before you check out.

Not sure chat is the right starting point? How AislePrompt Works compares all four ways in, including the weekly planner and pantry matching.

What AislePrompt doesn’t do

• It doesn’t sell groceries or take payment. The shopping list opens a pre-filled Instacart cart; you pick the store, see that store’s prices and check out on Instacart with your Instacart account.
• It doesn’t add up quantities across recipes yet. An ingredient used by several recipes lands as one line, so check the amount against the recipes.
• The buying guides aren’t lab tests. Picks are compared on published manufacturer specs, owner reviews and price range.
• Recipe text is in English. The interface and the chat also work in Spanish.
• It isn’t a substitute for a doctor or dietitian. Nutrition is calculated from USDA FoodData Central.

Guest mode — no account, no friction

Chat, build shopping lists, and send your cart to Instacart with no AislePrompt account — session context lives in memory for the tab's lifetime, and your lists save to browser localStorage so they persist across reloads. Note: completing the purchase on Instacart requires a free Instacart account (AislePrompt hands off the cart; Instacart handles payment and delivery). A free AislePrompt account adds saved favorites, pantry and meal-plan sync across devices, barcode scanning, and family sharing.

Privacy & data handling — what we store, what we don't

Plain-language summary of what happens to your chat messages and any data the AI sees:

What is sent off-device. Each message you type and the assistant's reply are sent to a third-party LLM provider under a no-training enterprise data-processing agreement for response generation. The provider we use, and every service that processes message content on the way there, is named in the sub-processor list on the Privacy Policy — that list is the current one, and it is the page that gets updated when a provider changes. Whichever provider is in use does not train on your messages, does not retain them beyond the short operational logging window required for abuse prevention, and does not share them with third parties.

What we store on our servers. Signed-in users: the chat thread is saved to your account so you can pick it back up across devices. Guests: nothing is stored server-side — the conversation lives only in the browser tab's memory and disappears when the tab is closed. We never sell, share, or monetize message contents.

What you can control. Signed-in users can delete an entire thread, or the whole account (and every associated message), from /profile. There is no "forget after N days" toggle yet — explicit deletion is the mechanism. Guest mode means no server-side retention at all, by design.

Pantry photos & receipts. Images you upload for pantry scanning or receipt OCR are processed by a vision model in transit, kept on our blob storage only when you are signed in (so the pantry persists across devices), and deleted with your account on request. Guest pantry photos are not stored server-side. Full policy on the Privacy Policy page; reach the team via the feedback form.

Accessibility, keyboard navigation, and getting help

The chat interface is fully usable from a keyboard and with a screen reader. Tab walks through the message history, the text input, and the send button. Enter sends a message (Shift+Enter inserts a newline). Esc dismisses the recipe-preview overlay. ↑ at an empty input edits your last message. The message box is labeled for screen readers, and new replies are announced as they arrive without interrupting your typing. Recipe titles inside the chat are marked up as proper headings and ingredients as proper lists, so you can jump between recipes with the VoiceOver rotor or NVDA's heading shortcuts. Visible focus outlines stay on in keyboard mode. The interface follows your device's text-size setting and switches to high contrast when your system asks for it. Need help? Use the feedback form for accessibility barriers, bug reports, or questions — we treat accessibility reports as bugs. For AislePrompt's site-wide accessibility posture (ARIA practice, screen-reader testing, bilingual UI), see Features → Accessibility & language support and FAQ.

What you can ask

Real first answers the chat gave to prompts people send it, refreshed weekly. Each follow-up message can narrow, swap or rescale them; questions about gear link to the buying guide that answers them.

Prompt: “How do I know when chicken is cooked through?”
AislePrompt: To know when chicken is cooked through, the safest and most accurate way is to use a meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the chicken (avoiding bones). The chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The juices should run clear, not pink, and the meat should no longer be pink inside.
