Key Challenges Included

AI Ingredient Recognition Accuracy

The greatest challenge was the OCR system and establishing the accurate identification of ingredients in images and the correct recipe, so that reliable recommendations would be provided.

Real-Time Recipe Recommendation Engine

This meant that the system needed to be nicely designed so that it would be able to provide recipes at any time and so that the recipes would be aligned with the pantry and ingredient preferences of the user.

Ingredient & Recipe Database Management

The development of a solid infrastructure so that there would be ease in the control and unceasing development of ingredient recipes and the different divisions was within a single growing and overflowing system.

Scalability for Future AI Enhancements

The development of flexible infrastructural systems is designed to accommodate future improvements and increases in the number of users to prevent a dilution of the performance of the system across the platform and of the recipes.
