Chef Hugo
DoWhile
Hugo is the recipe app with a real AI sous-chef — one that knows your whole cookbook, your allergies, your diet, even your cooking skill. Paste any reel or link and Hugo turns it into a recipe, then adapts it to you.
KNOWS YOU — NOT JUST YOUR RECIPES
Hugo isn't a chatbot bolted onto a recipe box. It's an agent you actually talk a recipe through — and it remembers what matters:
• Your allergies, intolerances & diet — set once, applied everywhere
• Your cooking skill — from first-timer to confident
• Your whole cookbook — so it answers in context
Ask anything: "Make this gluten-free," "Scale to 8," "What can I use instead of guanciale?," "Plan dinner from my saves." Hugo rewrites the recipe live.
IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
• Share any recipe to Hugo from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Safari
• Or paste a link — Hugo detects and imports it instantly
• Hugo watches the whole video and reads the creator's pinned comment — where the real recipe often hides — pulling every ingredient, step, and time automatically
COOK HANDS-FREE
• Step-by-step cook mode with big, glanceable instructions
• Per-step timers you start with a tap
• Tap any ingredient to convert units
• Ask Hugo mid-cook without losing your place
SHOP THE RECIPE
• Add any recipe — or a whole week — to your list in a tap
• Auto-grouped by aisle, duplicates merged across recipes
• Check items off as you shop
YOUR COOKBOOK, ORGANIZED
• Every import, creation, and edit in one searchable library
• Organize into Collections — "Quick Dinners," "Date Night," anything
• Favorite recipes and find them in a tap
MAKE IT YOURS
• Build recipes from scratch with a guided flow
• Fork & adapt any recipe — Hugo tracks what changed and why
• Private notes only you can see
SHARE WITH FRIENDS
• Send any recipe with a link — friends open it right in Hugo, your tweaks and all
Free to start — 8 imports and a generous Hugo allowance included. Go unlimited anytime.
Private by default. We never scrape your cookbook or sell your data.
