CookBot · Cook Pro

Tell it what you want to cook.
CookBot writes the files.

CookBot is an AI assistant in the Cook Editor sidebar. Point it at your recipes and menus and it plans your week, imports recipes, and edits your .cook files — every change a diff you approve.

Organise your collection

Tag every recipe with cuisine and meal-type tags.

You stay in control

Every change is a
diff you approve.

CookBot never quietly rewrites your files. It proposes changes as a diff; nothing lands on disk until you accept it. It only sees the recipes and menus you share in the conversation — not your whole collection — and what you send is not used to train the AI provider's models.

  • Approve or reject every edit
  • Only what you share is sent
  • Your recipes stay plain-text files you own
  Whisk @eggs{4} with grated @parmesan{100%g}.
- Add cream.
+ Keep it traditional — no cream; the egg and
+ pasta water make the sauce.

Included with Cook Pro.
