What they did
His Meals bot knows the family's tastes, what the kids won't eat, portion sizes and what they've had lately. It suggests 10 dinners, the family picks about 5, and it turns them into one combined shopping list with real package sizes plus a prep card for each meal. It adapts recipes too, like a no-onion chili the kids will eat, and drafts the plan as an email to his wife for him to send.
