Gruby AI Features

What is Gruby AI?

Gruby AI is your personal cooking assistant. It can import recipes from any video or website, suggest meals based on what's in your pantry, help you reduce your grocery bill, and answer any cooking questions you have. Just ask it anything!

How does recipe import work?

Just paste any recipe link — TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, or any cooking website. Gruby AI automatically extracts the ingredients, cooking steps, nutrition info, and even timestamps from videos. No more manually copying recipes or taking screenshots.

Can Gruby AI help me save money?

Gruby AI can analyze your shopping cart and suggest cheaper alternatives, help you find recipes that use ingredients you already have, and recommend meals based on what's on sale at your local grocery store.

Grocery Prices & Shopping

How does price comparison work?

Gruby integrates with grocery partners to show you real-time pricing for ingredients. When you select a recipe, we automatically build a grocery list and show you the total cost, per-serving price, and how much you save compared to ordering delivery.

Can I connect my grocery store account?

Yes! Connect your grocery store account to access personalized pricing, loyalty benefits, and purchase history. This helps us provide more accurate cost estimates and you can add items directly to your cart.

How accurate are the savings calculations?

Our savings calculations are based on real prices from grocery partners and average delivery app costs. We show you exactly what eating out costs vs. cooking at home so you can see the real difference.

Cooking Mode

What is Cooking Mode?

Cooking Mode guides you through recipes step-by-step with built-in timers, video clips for each step (when available), and voice instructions. Even beginners can cook like pros. And yes, there's a confetti celebration when you finish.

How do video clips work in Cooking Mode?

When you import a recipe from a video, Gruby AI extracts timestamps for each cooking step. During Cooking Mode, you can play the exact video clip for each step so you can see exactly what to do.

Can I use voice instructions?

Yes! Enable voice guidance and Gruby will read each step aloud so you can cook hands-free. Perfect for when your hands are covered in flour.

Community & Stories

What are Stories?

Stories are 24-hour posts where you can share your cooking wins, what you're making tonight, or your finished dishes. It's like Instagram Stories but for home cooks — no influencers, just real food.

How do I share my recipes?

Create an account and start sharing! There's no application process — everyone can share their favorite recipes, cooking tips, and connect with others in the community.

Can I connect with other cooks?

Yes! Follow other home cooks, see what they're making, get recipe inspiration, and even send direct messages. Build your own cooking community.
