Planning meals and trips

Give it what you have, who it is for, your time and budget. Then check hours and prices on official sites.

Key points

What the video says

AI can help you plan a week of meals, or a whole trip, in just a few minutes, if you give it the right details.

For meals, tell it what's in your fridge, who's eating, how much time you have, and any allergies.

Then ask for a plan for the week, and one shopping list for everything you need.

For a trip, give it your dates, your budget, who's going, and what you like to do.

Ask for a simple day-by-day plan you can easily change.

It's a great starting point, but treat it as a first draft.

Then check opening hours and prices on the official websites, because the AI can be out of date.
