AI-based Recipe Generation for Jumbo Supermarkten

Introduction

This project contains a small prototype of an AI-based recipe generation system for Jumbo Supermarkten. The system generates recipes based on a user-specified ingredient list and autofills the missing ingredients. This project contains a small mock-up of the Jumbo Supermarkten mobile app, to place the recipe generator in a realistic context. Due to limited time and resources, the project is a proof-of-concept and not a fully functional application.

This project was created for the group project of the course "Information Strategy", from the Master's in Business Information Management at the Erasmus University Rotterdam.

• Course: BM-01BIM Information Strategy
• Academic Year: 2024-2025
• Team: 10 (click here for students)

Technologies Used

• TypeScript programming language;
• React Framework for the client application;
• TailwindCSS for styling the frontend components;
• DaisyUI for pre-built TailwindCSS-based UI components;
• OpenAI API for generating recipes based on user input (GPT-4o-mini model).;

Since there was no public Jumbo API for querying products, we have used the Albert Heijn API instead.
