Frequently asked
questions

Chef Amí is your dinner-decision companion that takes the 5PM question off your plate, for anyone done spending mental energy on "what's for dinner." Tell it your preferences, what's in your fridge, and what you're in the mood for, and it gives you one thoughtful dinner idea instantly.

With the iPhone app, you can turn on Daily Dinner Texts and have tonight's dinner sent straight to your phone every day. Think of Amí as the friend in the kitchen who already figured it out.

Download Chef Amí from the App Store and create an account. Your 14-day free trial starts right away, with no card required. A short preference setup (about 2 minutes) gets your first dinner suggestion ready, and it's where you turn on Daily Dinner Texts. You can also chat with Amí in your browser first to get a feel for it, though the daily texts live in the iPhone app.

Yes. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial, no card required, with full access including Daily Dinner Texts. You can also chat with Amí right in your browser first to get a feel for it. Membership is $29.99 a quarter or $99 a year, and you only pay once your trial ends.

Turn on Daily Dinner Texts in the iPhone app, set your preferences once, and choose the days and the time you want your text. Every day, tonight's dinner shows up in your messages with the full recipe a tap away. No app to open, no decisions to make.

Chef Amí is currently on iPhone (iOS), which is where Daily Dinner Texts live, plus a browser version for chatting with Amí. Android (Google Play) is coming soon. Want us to let you know when it launches? Email hello@mychefami.com.

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. The free preview gives you the full experience in your browser, and members keep complete recipe access for $29.99 a quarter or $99 a year.

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.

One simple membership, two billing options: $29.99 a quarter, or $99 for the year. Both unlock the full experience, and both can be cancelled anytime.

Either way, you start free in your browser first, with no account and nothing to download. You only join the membership once Chef Amí has earned a place in your week.

Go to Account Settings → Membership → Cancel Subscription. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees, no hoops.
