Native on Amazon Fire TV

Your TV is the new kitchen screen.

Snap your fridge with your phone. CookAlong tells you what you can cook tonight, plans the meal with an AI agent, then walks you through it hands-free with big steps, timers, read-aloud and Alexa.

585 recipes, 178 of them Indian. Dal, dosa, biryani, pad thai, paella, tiramisu, and new dishes arrive without an app update.

From fridge to fork

One evening, one flow.

Most dinners start with an open fridge and no plan. CookAlong starts right there.

Scan the fridge

Scan the QR code on the TV, then photograph your open fridge or pick a photo from your gallery. Amazon Nova Pro on Bedrock lists what's inside in about two seconds.

Computer vision
~2 s

Plan dinner

An AI agent turns those ingredients into one to three meals, suggests swaps for what's missing, and builds the shopping list. It reads the plan aloud.

Cook hands-free

One big readable step at a time, across the room. Timers start from the step itself, with a chime when they're done.

Up to 4 timers
Read-aloud

Just say it

Flour on your hands? “Alexa, next step.” Ask how much paneer you need, or what to use instead of cream.

Watch it work

See it on a real TV.

Filmed on a real Fire TV Stick, with close-ups captured straight from the TV. The voices are Amazon Polly.

Everything on the biggest screen

Built for a 10-foot kitchen.

CookAlong home screen with recipe shelves

Recipe library

585 credited recipes, on shelves you browse with a remote.

Scale servings and every quantity follows. The catalog syncs from the cloud, so new dishes appear without an update.

Smart ingredient matching

Knows that capsicum is bell pepper, curd is yogurt and brinjal is aubergine.

capsicum=bell pepper

List to your phone

Scan a QR code and tick items off in the shop. The list rides in the URL fragment, so nothing is uploaded.

Works offline

A dropped connection never stops a recipe. Saved recipes, timers and read-aloud keep going.

Timers that survive

Up to four at once, stored as wall-clock end times, so they stay right even after a restart.

Responsible AI

Every fact re-checked. Unsafe advice blocked.

The server verifies every recipe and quantity the agent mentions before the TV shows it. A Bedrock Guardrail blocks medical and allergy-safety advice.

Try cooking mode

Step by step, across the room.

Use the arrows, or your keyboard's ← →. Start a timer from a step, just like on the TV.

Read aloud: On Phone list

Read aloud

A voice like a person. Even offline.

Online, every step is spoken by Amazon Polly's natural generative voice. Each sentence is fetched once and kept on the TV, and the next step is fetched ahead, so moving on is instant. If the internet drops, or the service is busy, the TV's own voice takes over mid-recipe. Nobody has to switch anything.

Steps, timer alerts, fridge-scan and dinner-plan summaries
Cached on the TV: a recipe's voice costs nothing the second time
Falls back to the TV's own voice within one request

“Step 2. Add the spaghetti and stir. Cook until just al dente, about 9 minutes.”

The real Polly audio the TV plays.

Alexa in the kitchen

Hands busy? Just ask.

Connect once: say “Alexa, tell Cook Along my code is …” with the six digits on the TV. After that, any Echo in the home or the remote's Alexa button can drive the recipe on screen: steps, timers, scaled quantities and cooking questions, answered by Nova and shown on the TV.

Next, back, repeat, or go to step 4
Set and check timers by voice
“How much paneer do I need?” from the scaled list
“What's for dinner?” and “ask the chef”
“Alexa, next” and “previous” need no skill at all on newer Fire TVs (Fire OS 8)

The skill is in private beta. Want to try it on your own Echo or Fire TV? Email suhailullakhan619@gmail.com with your Amazon account's email for an invite.
