chefbot

Drop in any recipe URL. chefbot strips out the ads and the life story, parses what’s left into steps, and walks you through them. It also shows a timeline of what can happen at the same time. Hands-free and glanceable, built for a kitchen counter.

What it does

Recipes on the internet are walls of prose interrupted by ads and somebody’s trip to Tuscany. chefbot pulls out the part you actually need: ingredients, steps, and how those steps fit together in time.

You give it a URL. You get back a clean view with timers built in, a timeline of what can run while something else simmers, and step cards that tell you what the food should look like at each stage, not only how long to set the timer.

Step view

Each step carries its hands-on time, its passive wait, and the tools and ingredients it needs — so you can see at a glance what a step demands of you before you start it.
