Talk to Genesis

Hands full? Just ask.

Genesis is the AI inside Edesia. Tap the mic and ask out loud, in English, Romanian or Hungarian: Genesis answers in a sentence or two, and when you ask for a change, it makes it.

Cook, at step 2 of the sarmale

Chop 1 onion finely and mix it into the pork and rice.

Put a kapia pepper in the filling.

I have put 1 kapia pepper, finely chopped, into the filling at this step, and added it to the step’s list.

It answers. Then it does it.

Ask a question and you hear the answer. Ask for a change and the recipe changes, while you keep cooking.

  • Adds what you nameAn ingredient goes where it belongs, with the amount for your servings and the steps written again.
  • Changes a time or a heatLower, longer, hotter: the step says it in its own sentence, and the plan moves with it.
  • Sets your timers“Give it five more minutes” sets the timer of the step you are on.
  • Says what it didThe answer says what it changed, out loud and on the screen, so nothing changes behind your back.

It hears you in your language.

Speak the way you speak in your kitchen. Genesis knows the words of the dish in front of you, and stops listening when you stop talking.

English

How long until the sarmale are done?

About 2 hours and 14 minutes. I will call you at 19:15 to rest them.

Română

Cât mai durează sarmalele?

Cam 2 ore și 14 minute. Te strig la 19:15 să le lași la odihnit.

Magyar

Mennyi idő még a töltött káposzta?

Még nagyjából 2 óra 14 perc. 19:15-kor szólok, hogy pihentesd.

And every step is read aloud, with its quantities, in a voice of your language.

Ask before you cook.

Say what you feel like, who is eating and how long you have. Genesis answers with dishes: from your book, from Edesia’s classics, or new ones it writes into your book, in your language, when you ask for the recipe. Then ask again: faster, no meat, simpler.

Ask Genesis

Too salty

Most dishes come back. Start with the first; tap a fix once you have tried it.

  1. Try this firstAdd more of everything but salt: water or unsalted stock to a soup, more vegetables or rice to a stew.
  2. 2If notStir in something sour or creamy to soften it: a little lemon juice or vinegar, or sour cream off the heat.
  3. 3OrServe it with something unsalted beside it: bread, mămăligă, plain rice or boiled potatoes.

Still not right? Tell Genesis what happened

Say what happenedAsk

When something goes wrong.

Too salty, curdled, stuck to the pan. Rescue lists what can go wrong at the step you are on; pick one and the fixes that are known to work come first, at once and free. If it is still not right, tell Genesis what happened.

How it works, plainly.

Genesis writes recipes, understands what you say and finds where a change belongs. The times are plain arithmetic, checked against a test kitchen of hard recipes, so a plan never rests on a guess. The mic listens only after you tap it, and stops when you stop.
