What they did
Gustavo Britto tells it what he has at home and what he feels like eating (such as pasta parmigiana) and asks for opinions on ingredients.
How it went
He has been using it for at least a year. The article also mentions uses for outfits and languages. The account gives no numbers.
Good to know
Watch out for allergies and for how well meat is cooked. AI can't see your pan.
