The creator says the amounts.
You watch. And rewind.
Two tablespoons of butter, or two and a half? Back ten seconds. Hands wet, phone propped sideways, again.

About this Pancetta Carbonara
Hey, ask me anything about this recipe. Want me to swap an ingredient or scale it?
Out of pecorino — what can I use?
Parmigiano-Reggiano works great — same hard, salty cheese, slightly milder. I'll swap it in.

Three things, well done
What it actually does,
without the marketing voice.
Extract
Any link. Any video.
Paste a TikTok, an Instagram reel, a YouTube cooking video, or any recipe blog. Roux pulls the ingredients, amounts, and steps — even when the creator never said the amounts out loud.
Works on text. Works on talking. Works on the half-coherent caption under the reel.
Cook
Steps, not stories.
Numbered instructions. Real amounts. Temperatures converted to your preference. The whole recipe sits open on the counter so you can glance at the next step without touching anything.
No autoplaying ad. No grandmother backstory. No “before we get started, hit that follow.”
Adjust
Ask anything. Roux rewrites it.
Out of an ingredient? Want it halved? Need it vegetarian? Roux rewrites the recipe in place and shows you the diff before you commit.
It’s a conversation about a recipe. Not a chat bot pretending to be one.
Field reports
From the first cooks.
From a small private beta. Names abbreviated. We'll let them speak.
“I had three hundred bookmarked TikToks I'd never opened twice. Two weekends in and I'm actually cooking from them.”
Maren P.
Beta · Brooklyn
“The fact that I can ask it to halve a recipe — and it just does it, units and all — is the part I keep telling my friends about.”
Devon R.
Beta · Oakland
“It pulled an actual ingredient list out of a 9-minute reel where the guy never said amounts. I don't know how. I don't care.”
