Frequently asked
questions

Chef Amí is an AI-powered meal planning app designed for busy moms who are tired of the daily 5pm question: "What's for dinner?" Tell us your preferences, what's in your fridge, and what you're in the mood for — and we give you one thoughtful dinner idea instantly.

Think of us as your calm, French country kitchen companion.

Download the app from the App Store, create a free account, complete a short preference quiz (about 2 minutes), and your first meal suggestion is ready. You can also try 2 conversations free before adding any payment information.

Yes — you can try 2 full dinner conversations for free with no credit card required. Download the app and start immediately. If you love it, you can subscribe to the monthly plan or become a founding member.

Chef Amí is currently available on iOS. Android support is on our roadmap — if that's important to you, let us know at hello@mychefami.com so we can prioritize it.

You have a conversation with Amí — tell it what ingredients you have, how much energy you have tonight, and what your family will actually eat. Amí gives you one specific dinner idea, not a list of 47 options. If you don't love it, just say so and it'll suggest something else.

The more you use it, the better it gets at understanding your family's tastes.

Yes — this is core to what Chef Amí does. Set your dietary needs once and every suggestion is already filtered for your family. Supported restrictions include: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, low-carb, Paleo, Whole30, halal, and more.

Please note: Chef Amí is not a medical service. If you or a family member has a severe food allergy, always verify ingredients before cooking.

Yes. Every dinner suggestion includes full recipe steps, ingredient quantities, and timing. Founding members and monthly subscribers get complete recipe access. The free trial gives you the full experience for your first 2 conversations.

That's one of its best features. Just tell Amí what's in your fridge or pantry and it will build a suggestion around what you already have — no special grocery trips required.

Founding memberships are a one-time payment that gives you lifetime access — no recurring charges, ever. The Founding Table ($159) also includes physical gifts mailed to you: a French linen tea towel, a French-style butter crock, and branded French finishing salt. The Founding Member ($129) is digital-only lifetime access.

The monthly plan is $11/month and can be cancelled anytime. It's great if you want to try before committing.
