# Agent Chef

> Family meal planning run by the household's own AI agent. Every week the agent proposes ten dinners, household members vote from personal links (no accounts), the top three win, and Agent Chef builds a shopping list minus what is already in the pantry. Members rate meals afterwards and next week's proposals improve. Agent Chef never places orders; a human approves checkout.
