Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Dillr, the AI cooking assistant that learns how you cook.

What is Dillr?

Dillr is an AI cooking assistant that plans your week. Describe your family, your tastes, and your dietary needs — Dillr builds a menu of real recipes, turns it into a shopping list, and helps while you cook. It remembers everything, so next week starts smarter.

How does Dillr work?

Describe your week — who’s eating, which nights are busy, what’s in the fridge — and Dillr plans a menu that fits. The shopping list assembles itself from the plan, and while you cook you get step-by-step help. Recipes are living documents: adjust anything through conversation, and your changes stick for next time.

Is Dillr free?

Dillr is free to download on iOS, and new users get a free trial of Dillr+. After the trial, AI features — meal planning, recipe generation, shopping lists, and cooking help — need a Dillr+ subscription. Your saved recipes and meal plans stay viewable for free, always.

Can Dillr handle food allergies and dietary restrictions?

Yes. You and the AI can save natural language notes about any dietary situation — not just common allergies, but any complex need you can describe. Dillr remembers these notes and applies them when suggesting or adjusting recipes. It also knows your family setup, so portions are always right.

What makes Dillr different from other recipe apps?

Most recipe apps store static instructions. Dillr plans your actual week — around allergies, tastes, energy, and what you cooked last time — and manages the shopping list for you. Recipes are living documents you adjust through conversation, every recipe gets an AI-generated image, and everything Dillr learns makes the next plan better.

What platforms is Dillr available on?

Dillr is available on iOS. You can also connect Dillr to Claude and plan meals, manage recipes, and build shopping lists straight from chat.

Can I import recipes from websites or other apps?

Yes. You can import recipes from any website or share them into Dillr from other apps. Once imported, Dillr converts them into editable, living documents that you can adjust through conversation — adapting portions, swapping ingredients, or tailoring them to your dietary needs before saving to your library.

How does Dillr help with meal planning?

Meal planning is what Dillr does best. Describe your week — who’s eating, which nights are busy, what’s in the fridge — and Dillr builds a menu of real recipes that fit your family, then turns it into a shopping list organized for the store. It plans around your tastes, dietary needs, and what you cooked last week.

Does Dillr work for families with different dietary needs?

Absolutely. Dillr knows each family member and their individual dietary needs, preferences, and restrictions. When adjusting or suggesting recipes, it takes everyone into account — scaling portions for the right number of people and flagging ingredients that don’t work for specific family members.

What happens when I’m missing an ingredient?

Just tell Dillr. It will suggest smart substitutions based on what you have, your past preferences, and what actually works in the recipe. These swaps become part of your recipe’s version history, so if a substitution turns out great, it’s saved for next time.

How is Dillr different from ChatGPT for cooking?

General AI chatbots forget everything between sessions. Dillr maintains a persistent recipe library, remembers your family and preferences, and follows a structured cooking workflow — briefing before you cook, real-time help during, and feedback after. Your recipes evolve over time with version history, and your personal feed is curated based on everything Dillr knows about you.

Does Dillr generate images for my recipes?

Yes. Every recipe in Dillr gets an AI-generated image, so your library and personal feed are always visual. The images are created automatically when you save a recipe, giving your collection a beautiful, consistent look.
