What the coach knows

When you start a conversation, the coach sees:

• Your goals (kcal, protein, carbs, fat targets)
• Your last 14 days of logged meals (aggregated)
• Your pantry (if you've populated it)
• Your dietary tags + allergies

It does not see: your messages with other users, the contents of any group chat, or your search history.

Good prompts

• "What should I cook tonight with what I have?"
• "I'm short on protein this week. What can I add to lunch?"
• "Make a Mediterranean dinner that's under 600 kcal."
• "Adapt this recipe for keto." (paste a recipe link)

Where it falls down

• Medical advice. It will not (and should not) replace a doctor or dietitian. If you ask about a condition, it will recommend professional help.
• Real-time prices / availability. It doesn't browse the web.
• Niche cuisines with few recipes online. Quality varies. If you ask about, say, Lao or Sami food, expect generic answers.

Spend caps

Every Claude call is logged with token counts + cost. We have a daily cap; if you hit it, the coach pauses until the next day. Free tier sees a lower cap; Premium has a more generous one. We'll never silently surprise you with a bill — the cap is the cap.
