Here’s a glimpse of the app’s main dashboard interface:
Users begin by selecting their available kitchen equipment (e.g., oven, air fryer, stove, baking plate) and specifying any dietary restrictions or food allergies in the settings.
Users can take photos of their food ingredients — including seasonings, vegetables, and meats — and optionally enter purchase date, expiry date, and other details.
An AI-powered object detection system automatically identifies and categorizes each ingredient.
All detected ingredients are displayed in a well-organized, searchable list, allowing users to easily browse, update, and manage their current inventory.
A built-in chatbot generates personalized recipe suggestions — along with estimated calorie information — based on:
- Available ingredients
- Selected kitchen equipment
- Dietary preferences
- Desired cuisine style
When additional ingredients are required, the app provides direct links to local supermarkets or online stores.
A price comparison feature helps users choose the most cost-effective option.
The integrated Ingredients Community enables users to share surplus or unused ingredients with nearby users, reducing food waste and fostering community connections.
