Robot Recipes

Free

A free AI meal planner that reads each recipe's steps and schedules every dish backwards from your serving time so they finish together.

Backward Timeline Scheduling: Every dish is scheduled backwards from the minute you want to eat, so the whole menu lands on the table hot at the same time.
Step-Level Recipe Parsing: The AI reads each recipe's steps to estimate duration and to distinguish hands-on work from hands-free waiting such as oven, simmer and rest periods.
Collision Avoidance: Dishes are nudged earlier when two hands-on steps would otherwise overlap, so the plan is actually executable by one cook.
AI Menu Suggestions: Anchor the meal on one recipe and get complementary dishes proposed from the Robot Recipes catalog across dozens of cuisines.
Scaling Shopping List: A combined shopping list merges ingredients across every dish and rescales with the serving count, with tap-to-check-off in the browser.
Cooking Mode: Shows only the step due right now, keeps the screen awake where the browser allows it, beeps when a step comes due, and works offline once the page has loaded.
Shareable Plans: Save a plan, print or export it to PDF, or copy an unlisted link that anyone can open without an account.
No-Account Access: The whole planner runs in the browser with no login, no app install and no ads.

Holiday Dinners: Coordinate a roast plus several sides so nothing sits cold while the main finishes resting.
Weeknight Cooking: Plan a two- or three-dish dinner around a set serving time and follow one timeline instead of juggling recipe tabs.
Dinner Parties: Share an unlisted plan link with whoever is cooking with you so everyone follows the same schedule.
Shopping Preparation: Generate one combined, correctly scaled shopping list for a multi-dish menu before heading to the store.
Learning to Time a Meal: See which steps are hands-on and which are waiting, so a newer cook understands where the real bottlenecks are.
Kitchen-Counter Cooking: Leave cooking mode open on a tablet that stays awake and beeps at each step instead of re-reading recipes with messy hands.

Freemium

Gives an AI agent its own isolated virtual display on your Windows machine, so it can drive real desktop apps while you keep using your desktop.

Isolated Virtual Display: Creates a dedicated second display for AI inside your existing Windows session, so the machine is shared but the workspace is not and the agent never competes for your cursor.
Scoped Application Access: You choose which applications and resources the AI can reach and what it may interact with, replacing uncontained desktop access with a boundary you draw.
Automatic Prompt Blocking: UAC prompts and desktop notifications are blocked from entering the AI's workspace, keeping system dialogs and interruptions out of the agent's reach.
Real-Time Observability: The agent's display can be watched live as it works, so you see what it is doing rather than reconstructing it from logs afterwards.
Interactive Takeover: You can take control of the virtual display yourself at any moment and let the AI resume from where you left off when you are ready.
Parallel Workspaces: Multiple tasks run simultaneously, each with its own virtual display and its own resolution, so several AI processes work at once without colliding.
GUI Application Support: Agents open and operate existing desktop software — CAD, simulation, creative and specialized research tools — with no need to rebuild the applications for AI.
Bring Your Own Keys: You supply your own model provider credentials and pay Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or your preferred provider directly rather than buying tokens through ZeroSphere.

GUI Test Automation: A developer has an agent launch the application being built, interact with its interface, inspect what happens and iterate — work a terminal-only agent cannot do.
Bug Reproduction: An engineer sends an agent to reproduce a reported defect in a real running app and observe the failure, while continuing to work on their own desktop.
CAD and Simulation Workflows: An engineer delegates repetitive operations in specialized engineering software that has no API surface for automation.
Safe Agent Experimentation: A team trials computer-use agents without giving them access to personal files, system settings or financial applications on the primary desktop.
Creative Tool Operation: A designer lets an agent perform routine steps inside visual and creative applications on the same machine where the source files live.
Parallel Task Execution: A developer runs several agent tasks at once, each in its own display, instead of serializing them through one shared screen.
