An AI project planner that gets you to done

Most project tools give you an empty board and wish you luck. Chefington starts from the other end: describe what you want to make happen, and the AI Sous Chef interviews you — scope, constraints, budget, timing — then builds the whole plan as a Recipe: ordered steps, the items you need, cost estimates, and a progress tracker you can actually finish against. You edit anything, check off work as you go, and always know what comes next.

How it works

1. Describe the project. In your own words — "launch my pottery side business" works better than a blank page ever did.
2. Answer a few sharp questions. The Sous Chef asks about scope, budget, and deadlines — a couple of taps each, not a form.
3. Work the Recipe. You get ordered steps with items and estimated costs. Check things off, adjust as reality happens, finish.

What you get

• A complete step-by-step plan in minutes, not a blank template
• Ingredients — the items, tools, and materials each step needs
• Budget estimates per item, and a running planned-vs-actual view
• Progress tracking with a clear "what's next" at every moment
• A plan you can share, or publish for others to fork

Example Recipe: launching a weekend market stall

1. Define the offer: three products, price points, and a simple brand name
2. Handle permits: market vendor application and food-handling requirements
3. Source equipment: table, canopy, signage, card reader
4. Plan inventory for opening day with per-unit cost targets
5. Do a dry-run setup at home and time it
6. Open day checklist: float, signage, opening stock, backup supplies

Ingredients: Vendor permit · Folding table + canopy · Signage · Card reader · Opening inventory

Questions, answered

How is this different from a to-do list app?

A to-do app stores tasks you already thought of. Chefington helps you figure out the tasks in the first place — the Sous Chef builds the plan with you, including the items and costs each step needs, so nothing important is missing before you start.

Can I change the plan after it's generated?

Yes — a Recipe is fully editable. Add, remove, and reorder steps, change items and budgets, and the progress tracking follows along.

Does it work for non-business projects?

Any goal with steps works: moving apartments, planning an event, a creative project, a garden build. If you can describe it, the Sous Chef can plan it.
