What is DishGen?
DishGen is an AI recipe generator and meal planner that runs in the browser. You type what you have in the kitchen, a dietary requirement, a rough idea or a planning request, and the chat-based assistant writes a new recipe or a week of meals in response. Results can be adjusted by asking for substitutions, another cuisine or a dietary change, and saved, remixed or shared from an account. A profile feature stores tastes, needs and goals so later suggestions take them into account. Paid tiers add daily credits, an advanced planner that produces recipes for each planned meal, AI editing of existing recipes and estimated nutrition labels; the top tier adds recipe images, a privacy mode and commercial rights. A free Basic account stays available, and the site can be tried without signing up.
