Automate meal prep, planning and shopping with AI
SESSION GUIDE: https://www.lelandcourses.com/ai-builder/meal-planning-agent/ Most meal plans assume you live alone, eat anything, and have unlimited time on Sundays. None of that is true. By Tuesday the plan starts slipping. By Thursday you're at the drive-thru wondering why you bought all those bell peppers. In this exclusive AI Builder session, Jake Evans will walk you step by step through building a meal planning agent powered by Claude. By the end of the hour you'll have a working AI that knows your diet, your fitness goals, your weekly schedule, the foods you actually like, and the three things your kid will refuse to touch under any circumstance. Tell it you have 20 minutes and a half-empty fridge, and it will tell you what to make. But the meal planner is just the on-ramp. The real takeaway is the playbook: how to hand any messy, recurring part of your life over to AI. First dinner. Next a packing assistant, a homework tutor, a family travel agent, a workout planner that adapts to how you actually slept. Same skill, different shape. Jake is a full-stack developer, which is a fancy way of saying he's the rare coach who can actually build the thing he's teaching you to build. He's done this for a living. Now he'll do it with you. You'll be building alongside him in real time. No demo, no notes for later. You'll leave with a finished agent and a clearer sense of what else you could build next.
