The AI sous-chef for food bloggers

Keep readers on your blog.

A reader wants to halve the recipe, swap the buttermilk, or convert it to grams — so they paste it into ChatGPT, and your pageview goes with them. Sously answers all of it right on the post, from your recipes, in your voice.

Every question they ask elsewhere is a pageview you lost.

Readers used to leave a comment and wait a day for your reply. Now they open a chatbot, get the answer in four seconds, and never scroll back — past your other recipes, your ads, your email signup. Sously has already read your recipes and your comment archive, so the answer happens on your page instead.

Everything a sous-chef handles, on your blog.

Sously is trained on your recipe index and your comment archive. Every answer comes from your posts and links back to them — so the next click is yours, not a chatbot's.

Ticket 01

Instant answers

Nine PM on a Tuesday, mid-recipe, hands covered in flour — they get an answer in seconds instead of opening another tab.

Ticket 02

Ingredient substitutions

Out of buttermilk, tamari, cake flour? Sously gives the swap and the ratio, tuned to the specific recipe.

Ticket 03

Recipe scaling

Serves 4 becomes serves 7, cups become grams — every amount recalculated and rounded so a human can measure it. The single most common reason a reader leaves your post.

Ticket 04

Search that gets food

"Something one-pan with chicken, under 40 minutes" finds the right post — no keyword guessing required.

Ticket 05

Related recipes

Finished the skillet chicken? Sously suggests your smashed potatoes to go with it — more pageviews, same reader.

Ticket 06

Learns from your comments

Sously mines your comment history for the questions you've already answered — and answers them your way, automatically.

Live on your blog in an afternoon.

No migration, no redesign. Works with WordPress, Squarespace, Ghost, and anything else that lets you paste a script tag.

Sously reads your blog

It indexes every recipe and your comment archive, and learns the answers you've already given readers.

Readers just ask

A small "Ask Sously" button appears on every post. They get the swap, the scale, the substitution — without ever leaving the page. You get your evenings back.

Simple, like a good recipe.
