Inspiration
One of our team members was doing community service with the KU Honors Program and realized that she could make a difference in Lawrence by promoting healthy meals on a budget.
What it does
This app works by uploading images of coupons to Google Gemini and in return gets several delicious meals for you to make!
How we built it
We used Flask as a building block and used HTTP requests to perform actions regarding uploading images and creating the recipes with calls to the Google Gemini API. We then used JavaScript to display the recipes, along with CSS to make our website more pleasing to the eye.
Challenges we ran into
We had issues with HTTP request priority calling the wrong functions, creating a website that would function well on a phone (and styling form inputs), as well as general Gemini API difficulties.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We got this done in less than 24 hours because one of our professors made a super hard lab due this Sunday >:|
What we learned
We learned how to call Gemini API from python, how to style with phones in mind, and using form requests in HTML.
What's next for Budget Meal Maker
We would want to make it publicly accessible and more useful by giving item prices as well.
