The problem it solves

Deciding what to cook with what you already have takes time you may not have after a long day. Searching recipe sites for your exact ingredients and dietary needs rarely gives a quick, useful answer.

Who it fits

Good for meal planning services, nutritionists, or any business offering cooking help over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. Receives a WhatsApp message describing available ingredients or preferences
  2. AI reads the message and identifies ingredients and dietary needs
  3. Searches a recipe database for matching options
  4. Remembers earlier parts of the conversation for better suggestions
  5. Replies on WhatsApp with a personalized recipe suggestion
What you get

Recipe ideas answered instantly on WhatsApp

Your customers get a personalized recipe suggestion the moment they text you their available ingredients.

What you get

A personalized recipe suggestion delivered right in the WhatsApp chat.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account, an AI account, and a recipe database subscription.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
