PrepPilot

PrepPilot is a mobile app (with optional web companion) for absolute beginners who get stuck before they even start cooking. Instead of dumping full recipes, it breaks meals into micro-steps: what to take out, what tools to grab, how to prep, and what “done” looks like. Each step has a 10–20 second clip, a photo reference, and a single timer button. The app focuses on a small library of “starter meals” that teach transferable skills (knife basics, sautéing, boiling, oven timing) rather than endless content. It also includes a panic button that shows the 3 most common mistakes at that step and the fastest recovery. This is a combination traditional + AI app: AI personalizes pacing and suggests substitutions based on what you have, but the core instructions are human-tested to avoid hallucinations.
