The coach

It doesn't just show you.
It talks you through it.

A real conversation, in real time, while you cook. Ask anything, mid-stir. PlateBuddy listens, watches, and keeps pace with you, not the other way around.

1

A voice that actually coaches.

No more scrolling with greasy thumbs. Say "what's next?", "how much salt?", or "wait, repeat that" and get an instant answer, out loud.

4

It pulls up the picture.

Ask "what should medium-rare look like?" and PlateBuddy searches the web and shows you the right reference photo, right inside the session.

It can see your pan.

Point the camera at the stove and ask "does that look ready?". PlateBuddy looks at what's actually happening in your pot and tells you what to do next.

3

Timers that set themselves.

Mention a time and it's tracked. Multiple dishes, multiple timers, all named, all running, all announced out loud when they finish.
