Project Status
CLOSED
Project SmartKitchen plans to explore what it would be like if you knew exactly what was in your fridge in real time, with little to no effort. Even better, we’d love to help you leverage this information and take your available ingredients to suggest new healthy recipes to try. Our vision is to help everyone with the question, “What’s for dinner?”, so you never have to come up blank again.
Project overview
Project SmartKitchen attempts to help people answer the question "What's for dinner?" in such a way that optimizes ingredients on hand, reduces food wasteage, and offers recipes (eventually) tailored to the user's time, skill, dietary requirements, allergies, likes/dislikes, etc.
Lean Start Up Flow
Vision Statement
SmartKitchen aims to answer the question "What's for dinner?"
Ideas
- Use image recognition to identify the inventory of the kitchen
- Use barcode to identify and manage the inventory of the kitchen
- Use RFID to identify and manage the inventory of the kitchen (entire house, garbagecan)
- Use OCR to identify and manage the inventory of the kitchen
- Use the inventory of the kitchen to provide recipes
- Use an Open Source Cookbook to provide recipes from the community and socially engage/gamify the community in the food area
Leap of Faith Assumptions Being Tested
- We are assuming that we can use image recognition to accurately identify some percentage of the contents of the kitchen
- We assume that people want recipes that they can make with their existing kitchen inventory
Experiments
- We believe that if we give a user an experiment device for identifying their inventory that we will be able to recognize 20% of items with our existing training to date.
- If run a Facebook Ad describing our product, we expect a 2% response rate
- If we create a video that shows our product vision and advertise it, we expect a 2% response rate.
