How to use SummitPlate in ChatGPT

This guide shows how to connect SummitPlate to ChatGPT. You will save recipes from a chat, change your meal plan and use your grocery list. New to the app? Start with the SummitPlate in ChatGPT overview.

Before you start

  • A ChatGPT account.
  • A SummitPlate account. A free account works.

The app works with meal plans you already have in SummitPlate. It can add or replace meals, but it does not remove meals.

To build a brand-new week, start on summitplate.com. Then make changes from ChatGPT whenever it is easier.

Add the app

Open the SummitPlate listing in ChatGPT's app directory. You can also search “SummitPlate” in ChatGPT's apps. The app's name there is SummitPlate Cookbook.

Connect your account

When ChatGPT asks, sign in to your SummitPlate account.

No account yet? Create a free one from that same screen.

You choose how much access to grant: full access or read-only access.

Save a recipe from a chat

Found a recipe you like in ChatGPT? Ask SummitPlate to keep it. Say:

“Save this recipe to my SummitPlate cookbook.”

Saved recipes are private to your account. They show up in your cookbook on summitplate.com and in the SummitPlate iPhone app. Each one is labeled as a ChatGPT recipe.

A free account saves up to 50 recipes. A subscription saves unlimited recipes.

Change your meal plan

You can add a dinner or replace one dinner in a plan you already have. For example:

“Replace Thursday dinner in my SummitPlate plan with something quicker.”

ChatGPT shows you the change first. It saves only after you approve it. Other meals in your plan stay where they are.

Use your grocery list

Your SummitPlate grocery list is available from ChatGPT too. You can:

  • Read your current grocery list
  • Add, edit or remove items
  • Mark items as bought or already have
  • Regenerate the list

“Mark olive oil as already have on my SummitPlate grocery list.”

Find recipes

There are two places to look, so say which one you mean.

SummitPlate's recipe catalog

Search recipes SummitPlate offers. Try “Search SummitPlate for chicken dinners.”

Your saved cookbook

Search the recipes you have saved. Try “Find the soup in my SummitPlate cookbook.”

Tips for better results

  1. Say "SummitPlate" in your request

    It helps ChatGPT use the SummitPlate app for your request.

  2. Name the day and the meal

    Say "Tuesday dinner" rather than "a dinner this week." ChatGPT then knows which meal to change.

  3. Ask for one change at a time

    One change per request is easier to review and approve before it saves.

Troubleshooting

“This plan belongs to a different SummitPlate account”

Sign in with the SummitPlate account you connected to ChatGPT.

The connection expired

Reconnect SummitPlate from ChatGPT and sign in again.

Privacy and disconnecting

SummitPlate uses what it receives through ChatGPT only to run the features you ask for. It does not sell it, use it for ads or use it to train AI models.

You can disconnect any time from Connections in your SummitPlate account or from ChatGPT's settings. Read the full privacy policy.
