You can even ask it a fun recipe name. Plus, once the recipe loads, you can ask BakeBot questions and make modifications.

Add your text to the box and then click the red "create recipe" button to start the fun.

BakeBot Pop Up Chat Works on Every BakeSpace Recipe & Cookbook

Get Instant Culinary Answers via the Bakebot Pop-up Chat Featured on Every Recipe & Cookbook Page

While visiting BakeSpace, our members AND visitors can chat with BakeBot on almost every page of the site. You do not need to be logged in to use this feature.

You can use the pop up chat to ask a question about any recipe, cookbook or any cooking question you might have. It's also great for ingredient swap outs or dietary changes -- you can ask Bakebot to show you the recipe with the changes -- and it will!

While on recipe and cookbook pages, you don't have to tell BakeBot about the recipe or cookbook -- it already understands the content on the page. Simply ask your question and tada!

Your chat on that specific page will save, so if you come back to that recipe or cookbook in the near future, it will load when you click on the chat box.

You can also instantly save your recipes from the pop up chat too! Just tell BakeBot to "save recipe" and it will save the recipe you modified or created in your BakeSpace account.
