Hey everyone! 👋 For this Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge, I wanted to build something practical and personal for my best friend, who always struggles with finding healthy meal options that match her food preferences and busy college schedule.
Since I am exploring open-source AI and tools this year, I decided to build a simple, AI-powered meal planning helper that suggests quick, healthy recipes based on ingredients we already have at home.
What I Built:
A lightweight helper prompt/tool using open-weight models that:
- Takes a list of leftover or available ingredients from the kitchen.
- Considers dietary choices (like vegetarian or gluten-free preferences).
- Generates a quick 15-minute recipe with steps.
Why Open Innovation Matters:
Using open-source tools and AI makes it so much easier for beginners like me to build small, customized utilities without worrying about expensive APIs or complex server setups. It runs smoothly and can be customized instantly!
My friend loved the idea of getting instant recipe suggestions, and it actually saved us time during our study sessions.
Happy hacking, everyone! 🎉
