ChelseyCooks

A cookbook that takes in recipes from anywhere and works hands-free in the kitchen, with on-device AI.

My wife Chelsey loves to cook but hates most of the digital recipe book options she encounters. They all either fill your screen with ads, lack capabilities like tracking your pantry, don't have good recipe import options, or don't show things in a hands-free, big-text way that matters when cooking and your hands are busy.

Who is it for?

For my wife, for sure.

What did you cook from before?

We had tried multiple apps, recipe cards, recipe books and binders with removable pages, and none of them checked all the boxes.

Why on-device AI?

The on-device AI builds off my graduate degree, where I focused on AI security and specifically the capability of locally hosted models. It adds privacy, reduces costs, and is better for the environment by not falling into the realm of wasting water and electricity from large AI farms.
