A food sharing platform that connects UCLA dining halls with local shelters using AI-powered food analysis and volunteer coordination.
- AI Food Analysis: Uses AWS Bedrock (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) to automatically identify food items, nutrition info, dietary tags, and allergens from photos
- Natural Language Processing: Parses shelter requests written in plain English to extract structured data
- Three User Portals:
- UCLA Dining: Donate leftover food
- Shelters: Request food in natural language
- Volunteers: Coordinate deliveries
- Real-time Matching: AI matches food donations with shelter needs
- Frontend: TypeScript + CSS
- Backend: Javascript
- AI/ML: AWS Bedrock with Claude 3.5 Sonnet
- Maps: Volunteer coordination with interactive maps
This project was built to help reduce food waste while supporting local communities. Feel free to contribute improvements!
