Roast our AI meal planning app
Hello,
I built a web app that uses AI to generate a custom meal plan in seconds given your preferences. www.automealplanner.com
I implemented the freemium model.
I am looking for feedback on the landing page and the app. Is it clear how it works? Is it simple to use?
Every feeback is much appreciated so don't hesitate to roast the app!

I really like the idea of it and I think it would be really helpful for me because I have 2 jobs, and having to think about my meal plan and figuring out the grocery list is hard. Having an app that generates that automatically would be really helpful, but I feel that it is a little confusing. I love how it asks the macros I want to incorporate, but some of the meals it has laid out are boring, like rice noodles and chicken. That doesn't sound appetizing. I know I can manually add more food to the dish, but I don't know what goes well with that. Will affect the macros? Or will it readjust the whole plan in order to keep the same macros?
It does readjust the quantities to fit your macros! How the flow of the app was thought initially is that you choose your macros, then you choose the foods you like to consume and then you create your meal plan. So it's not really meant to give ideas at this point but more to compute and manage.
Try letting people demo the app first, then maybe do it where if they want it mailed or saved, they need to sign up/input email
Looks cool. Just send over the meal when I hit 'enter' :)
You mean it would be nice if when you generate you receive your meal plan by email?
I like the app just need to add more fps on that GIF :)
George,
I feel dizzy just watching the first few seconds. It puts me off eating. Please think again.
Thanks for the feedback! The idea was to do something dynamic
Number one thing is that the website is wayyy too busy. Multiple things moving at once so that you don't know where to look. It is chaotic and that doesn't give the viewer a good experience. If you want to put a GIF somewhere, make it the sole thing you are looking at, a focal point. Also, the website is loading slowly because of everything going on. I would tone it down, focus on quality over quantity.
Thanks I think you are right, I simplified the website!
Personally think the demo gif on RHS is too large and chaotic when I go to the page.
The slide in animation of "Step 1", "Step 2" .. is similarly chaotic, I would just leave them in place.
I would just have 1 thing moving when user gets to page. Either (1) the text on LHS, (2) the gif on RHS or (3) the calorie counter. Just 1, everything else should be stationary so my eyes can take it in.
Ok thanks for the feedback
It's a meal planning app
Logo on upper left looks low quality and too complex. I'd make the lines thicker for the hand and less pixelated
For the images/gifs, the green aura makes it look distracting and like a 2010s website. GIFS are also blurry.
"Replace any meal with a fancy meal" sounds weird. Maybe "make any meal fancy" is better
Also curious, do you have plans for image generation? I recently launched Evoke and think it'd make a great image gen backend.
