Taste Bud is an AI-powered cooking companion designed to help users craft recipes based on the ingredients available in their kitchen. Operating as a conversational bot, users can interact with Taste Bud naturally, communicating their preferences and limitations just as they would with a human.
Users can inform Taste Bud about the ingredients they have on hand, whether from their fridge, pantry, or leftovers that need to be utilized. They can also specify if they lack a suggested ingredient, prompting the tool to provide suitable alternatives. Additionally, users can inquire about specific cooking tools or request vegan or dairy-free recipes, with Taste Bud offering tailored recommendations.
Functioning as a collaborative partner in the cooking process, Taste Bud assists users in creating delicious dishes. However, being a bot, it may be susceptible to manipulation and does not reward unrealistic requests.
The tool features a “Saved Buds” function where users can store recipes they enjoy. These recipes are saved in the browser’s cache, eliminating the need for a separate account. However, it’s important to note that clearing cookies will remove saved recipes.
Developed by Sarah Lawrence and Ryan Splitlog, two home cooks based in Atlanta, Georgia, Taste Bud provides users with a convenient and personalized cooking experience by leveraging AI technology.
