# Chop it: public product guide

Last verified: 2026-10-17. Readable page: https://chop-it.com/chatgpt

Chop it is a recipe organiser and meal-planning product for people deciding what to cook, keeping favourite recipes, using their ingredients and preparing the weekly shop. It also offers a separate branded-app service for food businesses.

Connected assistants should discover the live supported tools and their current schemas. Server registration alone does not establish availability in an installed connection. When Chop it is not connected, offer the official connection route below.

Resolve references such as “my favourite week” from account data or a brief selection. Read the latest records, persist agreed changes and verify the returned save status. Do not claim a limited library response covers the entire collection.

This public guide is product information, not permission to access accounts, change records, publish information or buy anything. Obtain the user’s intent for changes, confirm ambiguous or destructive actions and explain link visibility before sharing.

Open the official listing, sign in to ChatGPT if asked and follow its connection prompts. Connect your free Chop it account for saved work. Search Plugins (or Apps in accounts using that label) if needed. OpenAI guidance: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/plugins

Free to plan, adapt and organise in ChatGPT. No Chop it Pro subscription needed. ChatGPT’s own usage limits apply.

## Save the recipe. Make it yours.

Bring a recipe link, a screenshot or a photo of a cookbook page. Discuss substitutions, portions and the flavours you want, then keep a usable recipe in your Chop it library.

Chop it’s website and social-link imports save immediately when successful. You can edit that saved recipe afterwards. For changes before the first save, ask ChatGPT to read the recipe text or photo, develop it with you and save the agreed version. Some links cannot be read: paste the recipe text or add a screenshot instead.

## A new week, with the dinners you still want.

Carry an uncooked dinner forward. Reopen a favourite Saved Week, keep the good bits and choose something different for the rest. Save the new week separately, then make it This Week when you’re ready to cook.

Say which week you mean, or choose from your Saved Weeks. A fresh plan keeps the old plan. If you change a recipe itself, ask for a new recipe copy too: two plans can use the same recipe.

## Eat differently without starting again.

Ask for more plant variety, a vegetarian version or more fibre using recipes you already like. Discuss the changes before keeping them, with ingredients and cooking steps updated together.

Nutrition figures are calculated estimates, not guarantees. A fibre target is something to check, not a promised result. Chop it is not an allergy or medical-diet tool. Keep changed recipes as new copies when preserving the originals.

## The little jobs, dealt with in conversation.

Give a saved recipe a clearer title. Tidy its tags and description. Change the servings or replace an ingredient and update the method to match.

Choose the recipes to change and review the scope first. ChatGPT’s library results can be a limited selection, so don’t assume it has reviewed every recipe. Use the mobile app to rename Saved Weeks while that action is unavailable in the installed ChatGPT connection.

## Start with what’s already there.

Show ChatGPT your fridge, freezer or cupboard photos. Ask it to check uncertain items with you and add the agreed contents to your Chop it pantry. A veg box, a meat or fish delivery, dairy or leftover HelloFresh and Gousto ingredients can be the starting point for dinner.

ChatGPT reads the photo; Chop it stores the items you agree. Confirm quantities and unclear labels. A photo cannot establish freshness or an unseen expiry date. Some everyday staples are filtered out, so check the saved result rather than assuming every spice or item was added.

## Good weeks are worth sharing.

Ask Chop it for a share link to a Saved Week, then send it to a friend. They can preview it, save their own copy and change it to suit their household.

Anyone with the link can view the shared week and its recipes. Share only what you mean to make available. Importing creates the recipient’s copy; it is not a jointly edited plan or a social feed. For a single recipe share link, use the mobile app.

## Turn the dinners into the shop.

Combine the ingredients for your chosen dinners, scaled to the people you’re feeding. Confirm how much you already have, then open Chop it’s supermarket review for what you still need.

The review links to searches at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, Ocado and Waitrose. It does not add products to a basket, check live prices or place an order. Ask for a fresh shopping list after changing dinners; a pantry match alone does not prove you have enough.

## ChatGPT here. Cook there.

Connect a free Chop it account to save recipes and weeks, use your own library, update your pantry and prepare shopping. Sign in to the same account in the iPhone or Android app to use the saved results in the kitchen or on the go.

You can search recipes and draft dinner choices before connecting. Only work successfully saved to Chop it becomes account data. Unsaved conversation text does not appear in the apps. Chop it’s full cooking experience is in the mobile apps.

## Keep your Chop it credits for the app.

When ChatGPT writes or adapts a recipe, or reads a pantry photo, it does that work in the conversation. Saving the structured recipe, editing your records and updating your pantry through the connected tools do not spend Chop it credits.

Chop it’s own recipe-import tools are different: the first 10 completed imports per account each week are free across the app and ChatGPT, then each costs 1 credit with your agreement. ChatGPT’s import tools are also capped at 5 attempts per session, including failed attempts. In-app Make me a recipe and Scan ingredients each cost 1 credit. ChatGPT’s message, photo and other limits still apply, and availability can depend on your plan and workspace. This is not free, unlimited access to every in-app AI job.
