Fridgey Foodies: a Power App that suggests menus randomly based on available ingredients #50
Description
Project Name
Fridgey Foodies
Description
Our solution is a Power App that suggests menus randomly based on available ingredients while incorporating AI to predict and analyze user preferences. It helps users minimize food waste, track ingredient usage, and plan grocery shopping more efficiently by suggesting items that need restocking.
Additionally, users can customize meal suggestions by selecting:
Preparation time (e.g., meals under 30 minutes)
Meal type (e.g., healthy food, vegetarian options)
Number of servings (the app adjusts ingredient quantities accordingly)
Key Features:
Inventory Tracking: Users can input ingredients stored in their fridge along with quantities.
Recipe Suggestions: The app generates meal ideas based on available ingredients (e.g., if you have eggs and pork, it may suggest fried eggs or an omelet).

Scalability of your solution
Our solution is highly scalable and can be adapted for various user groups, including individuals, families, and meal prep businesses.
Current Features:
Usage & Restocking: After cooking, users can log ingredient usage and add needed items to their shopping list.
Future Scaling:
Cross-Platform Compatibility: The app can be used on mobile phones, iPads, and tablets for greater accessibility.
AI Adaptability: The model learns from user preferences over time, improving accuracy and efficiency with continued use.
Future Integrations: The app could connect with smart fridges, grocery apps, or voice assistants, enhancing user convenience.
Behavior Analysis: AI tracks frequently consumed foods and notifies users when ingredients are running low, helping with grocery planning.
Security of your solution
Currently, our solution does not require high-level security since it primarily stores ingredient data and meal recommendations, not sensitive information. It poses minimal security risks because no critical financial or personal data is stored.
Potential Future Enhancements:
Authentication Options: Future updates may include authentication methods for enhanced data privacy and user security.
AI-power of your solution
Random Menu Suggestions: AI suggests menus randomly, offering users a variety of meal ideas based on available ingredients. (This feature may connect to the internet for better menu variety.)
Future AI Improvements:
Personalized Menu Suggestions: AI will predict meals users are likely to enjoy based on past selections.
Smart Inventory Management: Recommends restocking based on frequently used ingredients and trends in ingredient depletion.
Behavioral Insights: AI will track user consumption habits and adjust recommendations accordingly.
Adaptive Learning: The system will improve over time, refining suggestions based on seasonal trends and personal dietary patterns.
