Inspiration

Foodie! is inspired by the possibility of building an interactive all-in-one cooking and meal planning assistant. We made it as human-like as possible

What it does

Sometimes, we feel like cooking a particular food so bad but don't know how. We can easily get the recipe instructions and ingredient by sending the name of the food or picture of the food. At times, we don't know the name of the food but we have a picture of the food, Foodie! uses computer vision to detect the food in the picture and suggest a recipe on how to go about cooking. In the case of using the name.

How we built it

• Messenger platform
• nodeJs for backend
• Heroku for deployment
• Spoonacular API for recipe instructions and deployment
• Wit.ai for natural language processing ## Challenges we ran into
• There's a limit to the category of food that can be detected since there's thousands of different classification category.
• Trying to keep track of state. ## Accomplishments that we're proud of We're proud of building a product that have the potential of making a positive impact in the world. ## What we learned We're all first-timers with chat bot, we learned a lot about building conversational chat bots on the messenger platform. ## What's next for Foodie!
• We plan on adding meal planning features over a specific period of time which will be available for premium subscribers.
• Improve the food detection ability of foodie!
• Improved NLP for more natural flow of dialogues
