How to use AI Edit
AI Edit is one of Honeydew's most powerful features. Instead of manually editing every field in a recipe, you can simply tell AI Edit what you want changed in plain language and it handles the rest.
How to use AI Edit
Navigate to any saved recipe and tap to open it.
Look for the AI Edit button on the recipe screen.
Type your instruction in natural language. For example: "Make this vegan," "Translate to French," or "Double the recipe."
AI Edit will show you the modified recipe. Review the changes to make sure everything looks right.
If you're happy with the result, save the changes. If not, discard and try a different instruction.
What you can do with AI Edit
- Translate recipes -- convert any recipe to a different language while preserving the structure.
- Adjust for dietary needs -- make a recipe vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, or keto.
- Scale servings -- double, halve, or adjust to any number of servings with recalculated ingredient amounts.
- Substitute ingredients -- replace specific ingredients (e.g., "replace butter with coconut oil").
- Simplify recipes -- ask to simplify complex recipes with fewer steps or more common ingredients.
- Add details -- request more specific measurements, cooking temperatures, or timing.
- Convert units -- switch between metric and imperial measurements.
- Fix formatting -- clean up messy recipes that were imported from unusual sources.
Example prompts
- "Make this recipe gluten-free"
- "Translate to Spanish"
- "Scale this to 8 servings"
- "Replace chicken with tofu"
- "Convert all measurements to metric"
- "Simplify the instructions for a beginner cook"
- "Add estimated cook times for each step"
If you want to keep the original recipe intact, duplicate it first, then use AI Edit on the copy. That way you have both versions saved.
