Cheffy has exactly one job. Help you cook. Not write poetry. Not pretend to be your therapist. Just help make dinner a little easier. Sometimes the best AI is boring.

Every family has this conversation. "What do you want for dinner?" "I don't care." "No, what do YOU want?" Meal Planner exists because we'd rather spend ten minutes cooking than twenty minutes negotiating.
