olivi, what is it?
Your smart meal planner. Eat better, save more, plan effortlessly.
The story in a nutshell
You come home from work. The fridge is almost empty. The kids are hungry. You're wondering what to cook tonight: for the fifth time this week. And the grocery list? Left on the fridge, again.
Olivi was built for families who want to take back control of their meals without becoming full-time nutritionists. Our virtual coach Olive knows local cooking, your tastes and your budget: she builds you a tailored plan and syncs the grocery list in real time with your partner.
How it works
1. Your profile
You answer 5 questions: how many people, your budget, your allergies, your favourite grocery store, your cooking level.
2. Olive generates
One single request, and you get a 7-day plan tailored to your profile, your pantry and your equipment. Olive varies proteins and cuisines.
3. Grocery list
The list is consolidated and sorted by aisle (a typical store route). You can check off what you already have at home.
4. You cook
Hands-free voice cooking mode, automatic portion adjustment, smart chained leftovers.
Our commitments
- Speaks your language. Olive talks like you do, with the words of home (poutine, shepherd's pie, maple syrup: in moderation 😉).
- Local comfort food. Tourtière, cheese curds, Montreal bagels, baked beans. Olive knows traditional recipes as well as today's trends.
- Shared grocery list. Synced in real time between you and your favourite person. You check off an item, it disappears on their side. No app for them to install: just a web link.
- Data hosted locally. Platform deployed in the Montreal region (Vercel yul1). Law 25 compliant.
Olive, your virtual nutrition coach
Olive is our AI coach. She was trained on cooking from here and around the world, and on Health Canada recommendations. She:
- • Builds your weekly plan (up to 4 weeks ahead)
- • Suggests 3 recipes using what's left in the fridge
- • Reads a photo of a restaurant dish and turns it into a homemade recipe
- • Deciphers grandma's handwritten recipes
- • Answers your nutrition questions, without diagnosing (see a professional)
Olive is not a doctor. For medical conditions (diabetes, severe allergies, etc.), always consult a health professional.
Who's behind Olivi
Olivi was founded by Benoît Descary, a communicator and technology enthusiast (descary.com). The idea was born from a very concrete need: simplifying the chore of meal planning and grocery shopping for local families.
Olivi is hosted locally (Montreal region), Law 25 compliant.
