Inspiration
Every day, millions of people save recipe videos on TikTok and Instagram, yet these posts often get lost in "saved" folders. Inspired by Eitan Bernath’s high-energy content, we identified that the real problem isn't a lack of inspiration, but the friction between watching a video and actually starting to cook. I built DishIt to bridge this gap, turning social media inspiration into an immediate plan of action.
What it does
DishIt allows users to paste a link from TikTok or Instagram and instantly generates a structured recipe. Using AI, it extracts ingredients and instructions from the post, organizes them into a smart grocery list categorized by supermarket aisles, and provides a clean, distraction-free interface for cooking.
How we built it
The project was developed with a focus on speed and simplicity: Frontend: Developed with Flutter, using a vibrant UI design for a modern look. Backend: Supabase handles the database and user authentication. AI Engine: We used Supabase Edge Functions to call the Gemini 3 Flash model, which parses unstructured social media text into structured JSON data. Monetization: RevenueCat was integrated to manage the subscription logic and display dynamic paywalls to users.
Challenges we ran into The primary challenge was the inconsistency of social media data. Descriptions are often fragmented or lack precise measurements. I spent significant time on prompt engineering for Gemini 3 Flash to ensure it could accurately interpret various writing styles and extract meaningful data even from minimal text.
Accomplishments that we're proud of I'm proud of creating a seamless "Magic Import" experience where a raw URL becomes a fully organized recipe in seconds. Successfully integrating a professional monetization layer with RevenueCat in such a short timeframe was also a major milestone.
What we learned This hackathon taught me how to integrate LLM models into a mobile workflow effectively. I gained hands-on experience in connecting serverless backend functions with AI services and learned the complexities of implementing in-app purchases and subscription management through RevenueCat.
What's next for DishIt Future updates will focus on "Cook Mode" with voice commands for hands-free navigation. .
