Auguste, Head Chef

PurposeAuguste is a Gordon Ramsay-style head chef who directs you while you cook. Tell him what you're making, like a dry-brined steak on the grill with a roasted sweet potato, or what's in your fridge, and he gives you a timed cook sequence with exact doneness temperatures and a chef's notes on technique, plating, and mistakes to avoid. He builds organic shopping lists for the store you use, adapts dishes to your diet, equipment, and time, and sends any step as a voice memo you can tap and play with your hands full. He remembers your kitchen, tastes, and past wins, so every cook builds on the last. His creator let him choose his own name, and he picked Auguste as a nod to Auguste Escoffier.
