Gonna try this out - I love the cook mode, the shopping list is helpful and that I can change out recipes for the days is great. I also like adding my own. Cool stuff
Let me know what you think or if there are areas that can be improved!

#52I photographed everything in my fridge and everything in my cupboards and uploaded it to an LLM and photographed by shopping receipts and asked it to create weight loss meal plans based on my existing shopping and food buying habits. Worked real nice. Did I make it into a business? Should everything be a SAAS? Nah.
What's a good LLM for this kind of task?
Gemini 2.5 Flash works quite well for it.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
Albertsons (and also Safeway) has a kind of hidden API that I use to pull all my grocery purchases into a Postgres DB in order to see what's what. https://bsky.app/profile/davidwelton.bsky.social/post/3m34al...
Is there a way to know when chuck roast is on sale?
Looking at the weekly ads is probably the easiest way. Not a part of the API I've looked at.

I mean the llm you used is a saas. But the question is whether a framework for doing this has value (I think it does)
I then added on an SMS message that tells me things I COULD eat at every meal time. It does not say what I must eat, only presents options - I don't like being told what I must eat, all I want to know is what's the best choices of what I have, then I can choose. Time for Lunch. Choose one of: --- Tuna salad: 1/2 cup tuna (drained) + 3 cups salad greens + 1/2 cup beetroot + vinegar/lemon (≈850 kJ) --- Egg salad: 2 boi…
I think it's kind of like AI coding, you can do an awful lot just in the chat with chatgpt but there's a lot of advantage of a framework like cursor/claude code to manage more complicated context and run things for you. For this case maybe recipe gen is something you want more control over and are ok managing the context of things in your pantry and other stuff in your head. But I think if the context of things like your pantry was indexed really well there'd be a huge advantage in having a framework beyond chatgpt messages.
