Preplo

Preplo is a mobile app that turns cooking videos from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram into actionable recipes. You paste a video link, and Preplo uses AI to extract the ingredients, quantities, cooking steps, and even provides cost estimates for ingredients. It eliminates the need to constantly pause and rewind videos while cooking.

The app analyzes video transcripts or descriptions to identify recipe components and structures them into a clear format. What sets Preplo apart is its ability to adapt recipes using AI — you can modify any recipe to be vegan, spicy, dairy-free, or low-carb, and the ingredients and instructions update automatically. It also includes guided cook mode with large text and screen-awake features for hands-free cooking.

Home cooks who frequently watch cooking content benefit most from Preplo. It's ideal for people who want to actually cook the dishes they see in videos without the frustration of manually noting ingredients and steps. The app helps with meal planning through smart shopping lists that merge ingredients from multiple recipes and provides motivation through cooking streaks and progress tracking.
