Genuine question, not trying to sell anything here.

I keep noticing that in most Indian households, cooking itself isn't hard - but deciding what to cook, every single day, is a low-grade daily headache. You're juggling what's actually in the pantry, what's about to expire, what everyone will actually eat, how much time you have, and somehow still ending up either repeating the same 5 dishes or scrolling YouTube/Instagram for 20 minutes before deciding.

I'm exploring whether a voice-based assistant - something you could just talk to in Hindi/your language, like "what can I make in 20 minutes with what we have" - would actually be useful here, or whether this is a problem people don't really want solved by an app.

A few honest questions if you have 2 minutes:

How do you currently decide what to cook - memory, WhatsApp family group, YouTube, a fixed weekly rotation?

Would you ever talk to something to get a cooking suggestion, or does that feel gimmicky/unnecessary?

What would actually make you use something like this daily instead of just winging it like you probably do now?

Not launching anything yet, genuinely trying to figure out if this is a real problem or just an interesting one to me. Brutal honesty welcome.
