Ollie AI is a mobile app developed by Confabulation Corporation (San Diego, founded 2023) that acts as a personalized meal-planning assistant for families. It generates weekly dinner plans, adapts them to each household member's dietary restrictions and preferences, and automatically produces a ready-to-shop grocery list. The app targets busy families who want to reduce the mental load of deciding what to cook. Users create profiles for each person in their household, specifying allergies, food preferences, and age-based needs. The AI balances those inputs to produce a balanced weekly plan, which users can further adjust by swapping individual meals with a single tap or by typing natural-language requests such as 'plan two easy Italian dinners' or 'use up the chicken in my fridge.' A computer-vision pantry-scanning feature lets users photograph their fridge or pantry to get instant meal suggestions that reduce food waste. Generated grocery lists integrate directly with Instacart, Walmart, and Amazon Fresh for one-tap ordering. The system is designed to learn from usage over time, improving recommendation relevance with each week. As of mid-2026, Ollie reports over 90,000 families using the app and holds a 4.8-star rating on the Apple App Store (from roughly 887 reviews). The company has received backing from ADS Ventures and the AI2 Incubator. The main user criticism noted in reviews is limited recipe variety, with some users reporting repetitive meal suggestions over time.
