Discover Olivi

What is Olivi?

+

Olivi is a meal planner app powered by artificial intelligence. It’s also your recipe app: Olive builds your weekly menu and generates your grocery list automatically, sorted by aisle and shareable. The app is free, on iPhone, on Android and on the web.

How does Olivi work?

+

In three steps. First, you fill in your profile once (diet, allergies, budget, tastes). Then Olive composes your week’s meals in a few moments. Finally, your grocery list builds itself, sorted by aisle and shareable. All that’s left is the cooking.

How do I plan my week’s meals with Olivi?

+

Open the planner, tap a day’s “+” and pick a recipe, one of yours or an Olive creation on demand. Olive tailors every suggestion to your budget, allergies and cooking time. In a few taps, your whole week is planned.

Who is Olivi for?

+

For families and couples who want to stop asking “what’s for dinner tonight?”. Olivi suits beginners and experienced cooks alike, and adapts to every diet.

Olive, the AI and recipes

Who is Olive?

+

Olive is Olivi’s AI cooking assistant. She plans your meals, creates recipes on demand, answers your questions and helps with groceries. She knows local cooking as well as cuisines from around the world.

Does Olive replace a nutritionist?

+

No. Olive gives general suggestions tailored to your preferences, but it isn’t medical advice. For specific health needs (diabetes, cholesterol, severe allergies), consult a professional.

Can I import my own recipes?

+

Yes. You can import a recipe from a web address (recipe site, food blog…), a PDF file, or photograph it : even a handwritten recipe, in cursive. Olive deciphers and structures it automatically in seconds.

Does Olivi handle diets and allergies?

+

Yes, and it’s a strict guarantee. Set your diets (vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free, etc.) and your allergies: Olive will never suggest a recipe containing an ingredient you must avoid.

Grocery list and savings

How does Olivi save me money on groceries?

+

By starting from a meal plan, you only buy what you actually need: fewer impulse buys, fewer duplicates and less waste. Olive favours budget-friendly recipes and accounts for what you already have in the pantry, which trims the bill every week.

Is the grocery list really automatic?

+

Yes. As soon as your week’s plan is ready, your list generates itself, grouped by aisle in the order of your route through the store. Shopping mode shows large type so you can check items one-handed while the other holds the basket.

Can I share my list with my partner?

+

Yes, in real time. You send a link and you both check items off in parallel : handy when one does the groceries while the other is elsewhere. The list syncs instantly on both sides.

Is Olivi adapted to local products and measurements?

+

Yes: measurements in cups and grams, and recipes adapted to locally available products, whichever grocery store you shop at. You can also pick your region (Canada, United States, United Kingdom…) so suggestions match your stores.

Account, pricing and devices

Is Olivi free?

+

Yes. You create your account with no credit card and, for 7 days, you get all of Olivi. After that, your account stays free forever, with limits: 3 AI actions per week (Olive, imports, photos), and unlimited recipes and grocery list. Meal planning is reserved for the Essential plan, but the plans you created during your first 7 days stay viewable.

How much does Olivi cost?

+

The Free plan costs $0, forever. The Essential plan is CA$7.99 per month or CA$49.99 per year, about 48% less than twelve months at the monthly rate (meal planning with unlimited plans, 70 AI actions per day, iPhone and Android app included). Prices are in Canadian dollars, taxes included.

Are payments secure?

+

Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe, the global standard for online payments (PCI-DSS Level 1 certified, the highest security level). Olivi never sees your card number: it’s entered directly on Stripe’s secure page. Subscription is handled on olivi.ca and can be cancelled in one click from your profile.

Can I cancel anytime?

+

Yes, in one click from your profile. You keep access until the end of the period you’ve already paid for, then you automatically return to the Free plan. No questions asked.

Which devices does Olivi work on?

+

On iPhone (App Store), on Android (Google Play) and on the web from any browser. The apps are included in every plan, and your account and data sync across all your devices.

Privacy and security

Is my data safe?

+

Yes. Your data stays yours: nothing is shared with third parties or used to train other models. You can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account.

Is my data used to train the AI?

+

No. Your recipes, plans and conversations with Olive are not used to train AI models. They are used solely to personalize your experience in Olivi.
