The workflow, in plain English
Before: Recipe serves 4, you need 6. It uses cups, you use metric. It calls for “1 stick of butter” and you don’t know what that means. You open a converter tab, multiply each ingredient manually.
After: Dassi injects a serving-size slider at the top of the ingredients list. Slide it to 7 — every quantity updates in place. Click “metric” — cups become milliliters. Next to “heavy cream,” a note appears: “Substitute: coconut cream for dairy-free.” The recipe became interactive. And yes, it stripped the 2000-word life story too.
Why traditional tools can’t: Recipe extensions strip the page but don’t add interactivity. Unit converters are separate tools. Dassi does both, inline, because it understands the ingredient data.
Step-by-step
- Open the recipe page in Chrome.
- Ask dassi to add scaling + conversion controls.
- Adjust servings and units; confirm any ambiguous ingredients.
- Optionally generate a shopping list or meal plan notes.
Example prompts to try
- “Scale this recipe to 6 servings and convert to metric.”
- “Suggest dairy-free substitutes for the ingredients.”
- “Generate a shopping list grouped by aisle.”
Tips for better results
- Be specific about what you want injected into the page (buttons, filters, a panel, a summary, etc.).
- If the page has multiple sections, tell dassi exactly what to focus on (e.g., “the transactions table” or “the diff for file X”).
- Prefer safe workflows first: draft, summarize, label, and prepare — then take actions (submit, purchase) only after review.
