Preplo

Preplo is the AI-powered culinary operating system that bridges the gap between food video inspiration and real-world execution. It transforms the chaotic world of social media cooking content from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram into structured, actionable, and personalized recipes. For the modern home cook, Preplo solves the universal pain points of pausing videos, scribbling down ingredients, and guessing measurements by instantly extracting a complete recipe with ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and intelligent cost estimates. It's engineered for growth-minded individuals who want to build a consistent cooking habit, save money through transparent budgeting, and reduce the friction of meal preparation. By leveraging advanced AI, Preplo doesn't just extract; it adapts, allowing users to instantly modify any recipe to be vegan, low-carb, spicy, or tailored to dozens of other dietary needs. As the winner of Shipyard 2026 by RevenueCat, Preplo is validated as a scalable, revenue-generating solution that is redefining how a generation learns to cook, moving from passive watching to active, guided creation.

AI-Powered Recipe Extraction

Simply paste any cooking video URL from YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram into Preplo. Our proprietary AI engine analyzes the video's content, transcript, and description to instantly generate a complete, structured recipe. It accurately lists ingredients with quantities, breaks down the cooking process into clear, timed steps, and provides a cost estimate, turning a fleeting video into a practical cooking blueprint in seconds.

Intelligent Recipe Adaptation

Go beyond extraction with AI-driven customization. With a single tap, transform any recipe to fit your dietary preferences or cravings. Choose to make it vegan, gluten-free, extra spicy, low-carb, dairy-free, or select from numerous other adaptations. The AI intelligently modifies both the ingredient list and the step-by-step instructions automatically, empowering you to cook the food you love, your way.

Guided Cook Mode

Experience hands-free, focused cooking with our full-screen Guided Cook Mode. This feature displays instructions in large, easy-to-read text, shows relevant timestamps from the original video, and keeps your screen awake so you never have to touch your device with messy hands. It's like having a personal sous-chef walking you through each step, ensuring perfect execution from start to finish.

Smart Shopping & Habit Building

Preplo streamlines your entire cooking workflow. It auto-generates categorized shopping lists from your saved recipes, complete with price estimates to help you budget. You can even merge lists from multiple recipes for efficient grocery trips. Furthermore, the Cooking Streaks feature gamifies your culinary journey, tracking your weekly progress with tiered achievements and social accountability to build a lasting, rewarding cooking habit.

The Social Media Foodie

For users who constantly discover mouth-watering dishes on TikTok or Instagram Reels but struggle to recreate them, Preplo is the essential tool. It eliminates the frustration of rewinding and pausing by instantly converting that viral pasta or dessert video into a clear, cookable recipe with all ingredients and steps laid out, turning inspiration into a tangible meal.

Individuals and families looking to optimize their grocery spending and reduce food waste benefit immensely. Preplo provides upfront cost estimates for each recipe and generates optimized shopping lists, allowing for precise meal planning and budget control.

Whether someone is following a specific diet like vegan or keto, has allergies, or simply wants to experiment, Preplo's AI adaptation feature is a game-changer. It allows users to take any recipe they find online and instantly tailor it to their nutritional needs without having to manually research substitutions, making dietary cooking accessible and effortless.

The Habit Builder

For those aiming to cook more regularly and build a sustainable skill, Preplo provides structure and motivation. The Guided Cook Mode reduces the mental load of cooking, while the Cooking Streaks and progression system (from Beginner Cook to Chef Legend) offer tangible goals and friendly competition, turning occasional cooking into a consistent and rewarding weekly practice.

What video platforms does Preplo support?

How accurate are the AI-generated recipes and cost estimates?

Our AI is trained on vast culinary datasets to deliver highly accurate recipe extraction, focusing on clarity and actionability. Cost estimates are generated using regional average grocery pricing data to provide a reliable budget guide. Accuracy is continually improving as our system learns, and users can always manually edit any details in their recipe.
