How a simple question - "What can I make with what's in my fridge?" - became an AI-powered cooking assistant.
Standing in front of an open fridge, staring at random ingredients, wondering what to cook. Sound familiar? That moment of "there's nothing to eat" when there's plenty of food - just no obvious meal.
The idea was simple: what if you could just show someone what you have, and they'd tell you what to make? Back then, it was just a dream. The technology didn't exist.
Fast forward two decades. Artificial intelligence can now recognize objects in photos with remarkable accuracy. Smartphones have powerful cameras in everyone's pocket. The pieces finally came together.
What seemed impossible in 2004 became not just possible, but practical. The technology caught up with the vision.
