ChefAI uses a sophisticated AI model to analyze the visual data from your food photos. It identifies ingredients, cooking methods, and flavor profiles to generate a unique and accurate recipe just for you.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm thrilled to finally share what I've been cooking up: ChefAI!
Like many of you, my social media feeds are filled with incredible food photos. I'd constantly see a stunning dish on Instagram or Pinterest and think, "I wish I knew how to make that." I had a phone full of culinary inspiration but no easy way to act on it. That frustration sparked the idea for ChefAI.
So, what is it?
ChefAI is a simple web app that uses AI to turn any food photo into a complete, easy-to-follow recipe.
It’s as simple as:
Snap or Upload a photo of a dish.
Generate the recipe with one click.
Cook your new creation!
Our AI analyzes the image and gives you everything you need: a full ingredient list, step-by-step instructions, and even bonus details like estimated calories, prep time, and difficulty level.
My goal was to build something that solves a few common kitchen problems:
Endless Inspiration: Finally cook those amazing dishes you see online.
Fight Food Waste: Not sure what to make with leftovers? Snap a pic of your ingredients and get ideas.
Learn New Skills: Discover new cooking methods and flavor combinations effortlessly.
A Special Offer for the Product Hunt Community!
To celebrate the launch, everyone who signs up gets 10 free recipe generations to experience the magic firsthand.
After that, we have a straightforward, one-time offer of 1000 credits for just €10 (50% off the regular price!). No subscriptions, and the credits never expire.
I built ChefAI to make cooking more spontaneous, creative, and fun for everyone. I'm so excited to see what you all create with it. I'll be here all day to answer your questions and would be incredibly grateful for your feedback, support, and upvotes!
Thank you for checking it out!
👨🍳 ChefAI Dev Update — Pricing overhaul, meal planner upgrades, and multi-language support
Been heads-down since launch shipping based on your feedback. Here's what's new:
💳 Switched from subscription to pay-as-you-go credits
The €8/month Pro tier is gone. Every signed-in user now gets full access to collections, meal planner, shopping lists, and weekly inspiration for free — no locked features, no blurred content. You only spend credits (1 each) when you actually generate something: a recipe from a photo, or an AI-merged shopping list. New accounts start with 10 free credits, and you can top up in small packages when you run out. Feels a lot fairer for people who use the app in bursts rather than daily.
📅 Smarter meal planner
The weekly planner now shows a running total of prep time and calories for each day, so you can see at a glance whether Wednesday's plan is realistic before your week starts.
🌍 Language support
Added a language picker with an onboarding prompt for new users — English and Lithuanian available now, more on the way.
🧹 Small fixes
Reset button for checked-off shopping list items (so you can reuse a list next week without rebuilding it)
New Features page laying out what ChefAI actually does, for anyone landing cold
Various image/blog/SEO cleanup
