← All use cases / Food & cooking
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.
Let's plan meals by voice. I want [NUMBER] days of [DIET OR STYLE] meals, three a day plus snacks. I don't eat [EXCLUSIONS], so never include them. When we're done, give me the shopping list as bullet points grouped by aisle.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Start a Gemini Live session and state your exclusions clearly at the very beginning.
- Ask for the list in bullet points and check the full week is covered.
- Read the transcript afterwards and double-check it hasn’t slipped in anything you can’t eat.
