Can You Ask an AI What to Cook While You Are Cooking?
Yes. Cooking is exactly when you need answers and least want to touch your phone, because your hands are covered in flour, oil or raw chicken. Being able to just ask out loud fixes that. In Bhansa, the assistant you talk to is called Mira.
What You Can Ask While You Cook
Halfway through a recipe, you might ask:
- "What do I do next?" and hear the next step read out, at your own pace.
- "I'm out of buttermilk, what can I use instead?" for a quick swap.
- "How long do I roast this?" for timing and technique without stopping what you're doing.
Your eyes stay on the pan, not the screen. (Asking Mira questions while you cook is a Premium feature. Having the steps read aloud works on both plans.)
It Helps Before You Cook, Too
Before you've even picked a recipe, you can ask Mira what to make. She looks at what's in your pantry and suggests something you can cook right now. Or ask her to plan your week and she'll put a meal plan together for you.
She Can Do Things, Not Just Answer
Mira can also make changes in the app for you. Ask her to update your pantry, add things to your shopping list or open a screen, and she does it. It's closer to telling a friend who knows your kitchen than typing into a search box.
Why Not Just Use a General Chatbot?
You could ask any AI chatbot what to cook, but it has no idea what's in your fridge, what you can't eat, or what you had last night. Mira does, because she's connected to your pantry, your preferences and your plan. So instead of a generic answer, you get one that fits your kitchen.
Mira on Free and Premium
On the Home screen, type or talk to Mira for dinner ideas, pantry and list updates, and food logging. Free includes 5 Mira credits and 5 actions a day. Premium includes 20 credits and 25 actions a day, plus 150 monthly credits, and lets you ask Mira questions while you cook. Having recipe steps read aloud works on both plans, and it doesn't count as asking Mira a question.
You can tell Mira what you ate and she'll add it to your food log. With Premium, you can also ask her to find a recipe from the Bhansa collection. If you run low, either plan can buy extra Mira credits where available, and they never expire. Credit packs don't unlock Premium-only features.
Give It a Try
Mira comes with Bhansa on iOS and Android. Next time you're mid-recipe with messy hands, just ask.
