Pantry pal

Inspiration

It's an actual struggle while deciding on what you'll have especially when you live alone. I wanted something that can help preparing food fun again.

What it does

It suggests a recipe from the ingredients you have.

How we built it

I used JavaScript on a NodeJs runtime using baileys/whiskeysockets( library which I have used a few times in the past) and Gemini API

Challenges we ran into

There were a lot of times there was recursion when the main function interpreted the bots response as a new message which I had to explicity return in each try block.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The bot is able to produce a recipe off a given list of engedients.

What we learned

I have learnt on how to use gemini api javascript SDK especially the setting of a system message

What's next for Pantry pal

It should be able to handle user input well, add its own suggestion to the users wish making food planing a blissful activity.
