FoodPilot is the AI meal planner built for households in Quebec. In a few minutes, the app puts together a weekly menu tailored to your tastes, turns your recipes into a smart grocery list, and compares Quebec grocery prices at the banners you already shop. It's fully bilingual (English and French) because cooking shouldn't force you to juggle a language that isn't yours. April was a busy month: we polished the first steps inside the app, made the grocery list noticeably smarter, and opened a brand-new referral program.
What's new this month
A smoother first experience
Going from sign-up to your first weekly menu has never been faster. Sign-in is now passwordless : one email, one click, you're in.
For new members, a friendly getting-started checklist walks you through the essentials the moment you arrive: cooking profile, food preferences, first menu. No more guessing where to start or filling a long form in one go. You can move at your own pace and pick up later : the app remembers where you left off. The whole onboarding feels shorter because it actually is, and within minutes you're looking at real recipes for the week.
A smarter grocery list
This is probably the change you'll notice most at the store. When several recipes use the same ingredient (say three recipes that all call for onions) FoodPilot automatically combines them into a single line with the right total, even when each recipe phrases the ingredient slightly differently. Singular-plural variants and compatible substitutes no longer clutter the list with awkward duplicates.
And when you check an item off as already in the cart, it stays checked: close the app in the parking lot, reopen it in the store, your list is exactly where you left it. Less noise, fewer surprises, more time to actually shop.
More flexible recipe planning
Some weeks, none of the first suggestions land. You can now refresh several recipes at once without losing the ones you already wanted to keep. Just say no to what doesn't appeal, and FoodPilot serves a fresh batch of ideas while leaving your favorites untouched. Recipe images also appear instantly on screen, no more waiting or refreshing the page to see what your dinner is supposed to look like. Planning becomes what it should be: a moment of inspiration, not a chore.
Easier navigation and a way to be heard
Your saved lists now live in their own tab at the top of the screen, separate from your profile. No more digging around to find a list you put together last week. The profile section has been reorganized into clean sub-tabs, so preferences, cooking profile, and subscription are all exactly where you'd expect them.
And we added a feedback button that's always within reach: spot something that bugs you, have an idea worth sharing? One click sends it our way. We read everything, and several of this month's improvements came straight from members like you.
Clearer subscriptions and a new referral program
The Subscription tab has been redesigned to show you clearly where you stand: trial time remaining, next renewal date, and a real cancellation link right there, no scavenger hunt through settings.
And the big news: FoodPilot is launching a referral program. Every member gets a personal sharing link to send to family and friends. When someone signs up through your link, you'll know. It's our way of thanking the members who talk about FoodPilot to the people around them and giving a newcomer a good reason to try the app for the first time.
Try FoodPilot this week
If you haven't tried FoodPilot yet, this is a great moment. Setup takes a few minutes, and you walk away with a weekly menu and a grocery list already priced out for your favorite Quebec stores. And if you're already a member, share your referral link: it might just be the most useful favor you can do for a friend who's still wondering what to cook tonight.
Got a suggestion, a frustration, or a brilliant idea? The feedback button is there for exactly that. We read it every week.
