Cookify — Smart Pantry Network

COOKIFY

Social cooking with AI · TypeScript · hackathon

A concept social network built with my brother for a hackathon: track the food in your pantry, get AI-generated recipes based on that digital stock, and meal plans that adapt to your restrictions and goals.

VIRTUAL PANTRY

computer vision · TensorFlow

Film or photograph your pantry or fridge and the system recognizes foods and quantities with TensorFlow and pre-trained models, building the 'virtual pantry' instantly. Manual entry stays as a fallback — AI accelerates, it doesn't block.

static cookbook → adapts to no one

Discarded path

Discarded path: a static cookbook serves no one. The system generates diverse, dynamic meal plans based on dietary restrictions and goals, with a meal-and-portions calendar that updates as the LLM plans.

the brand

Cookify: name and identity defined mid-hackathon. Cooking and tech without the solemnity — just like the product.

pantry matching between friends

The social side: a feed to share and rate recipes, a friends system and 'pantry matching' — recipes generated using both people's ingredients. Cooking with what's there, but as a pair.

LLM HARNESS

multi-provider · local models

Harnesses so the model receives the user's full dietary profile before generating a recipe, with multiple LLM providers and even local models. The value isn't the model: it's the system feeding it.

FUNCTIONAL IN UNDER 24 HOURS

honorable mentions · launch on the way

In under 24 hackathon hours the system was already functional — even running on local models. It earned honorable mentions and is about to launch.

STACK

TypeScript with full-stack Next.js deployed on Vercel, TensorFlow for food recognition and several LLM providers behind a single interface. From pitch to deploy in a day.
