AI-Powered Recipe & Inventory Management
The Challenge
Families waste food because they don't know what ingredients they have or which recipes they can make. They needed a way to track pantry inventory, import recipes easily, and see which recipes match their current ingredients to reduce food waste.
The Solution
Built an inventory tracking system with AI-powered recipe import. Users can import recipes from any URL (AI extracts ingredients automatically), track what's in their pantry/fridge/freezer, and get smart recipe suggestions based on available ingredients. Includes expiration notifications and automatic shopping list generation.
