Inspiration
I'm super lazy to cook, seriously! And trying to make a meal with only a few random ingredients always felt impossible. That's really how Pic2Meal started. Plus, I'm just too lazy to sit and watch long cooking videos. I wanted something really handy, something easy to just flick through recipes.
What it does
You snap a pic of your ingredients, and it figures out what they are. Then, boom! It gives you a recipe, and you can even pick if you want, like, Italian or Indian food.
How we built it
I used Bolt and Expo. So it works on your phone and also on a computer, which is cool.
Challenges we ran into
The hardest part was definitely teaching it to recognize all the ingredients properly from a picture. It was an awesome experience to fetch almost ingredients with 90% accuracy!!!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting the ingredients identified super accurately and making the recipes really easy to follow – that felt like a big win.
What we learned
learned a ton about AI technology, more than I ever expected! Also how to buidl cool apps :)
What's next for Pic2Meal
Next up, we're putting it on the App Store and Play Store. And then just keeping it updated with cool, user-friendly stuff, maybe some subscription options later.
