Use voice commands to analyze ingredients, get AI recipe suggestions, and automatically populate your shopping list with missing items.

Workflow Steps

1

Siri Shortcuts

Create voice-activated ingredient scanner

Set up a Siri Shortcut that activates when you say 'What can I cook?' It prompts you to describe visible ingredients, then sends this text to ChatGPT via API with the prompt: 'Based on these ingredients: [user input], suggest 3 quick recipes with cooking times and difficulty levels.'

2

ChatGPT API

Generate personalized recipe suggestions

Configure the API call to return structured recipe data including ingredients list, steps, and missing ingredients. Use a system prompt that considers dietary restrictions and cooking skill level stored in your Shortcuts app.

3

Todoist

Auto-populate shopping list with missing items

Parse the ChatGPT response to extract missing ingredients and automatically add them to a 'Grocery Shopping' project in Todoist. Include quantities and organize by store sections (produce, dairy, etc.) using Todoist labels.
