A reviewer chatted to Gemini Live while cooking to build a low-carb meal plan and grocery list. It heard him over the kitchen noise and the transcript could be shared to Keep, but it only covered part of the week and forgot that he'd ruled out yoghurt.

One Gemini user suggests photographing your fridge, freezer and cupboards, then asking for a recipe that gives just the directions and the items you don't already have.

One dad asked Grok for a full week of breakfasts, lunches and dinners for two adults and two children, under £100, with a shopping list and recipes that take no more than about 40 minutes. He found it not perfect, but quite helpful.
