BiteWise

What it does

BiteWise utilizes Google Gemini to provide users with AI-powered meal-tracking and meal-planning capabilities by generating recipe ideas for users. The core technology behind BiteWise is the Gemini API, which we use to analyze users' fridge photos and generate recipe ideas along with nutritional information. To ensure the results are reasonable and consistent, we carefully designed prompts using prompt engineering techniques. To ensure consistent results, we carefully design prompts by breaking them down into primary and supporting elements. We then finish with a cue that structures the output in a JSON format, including an output status indicator and an optional field for error messages.
We take advantage of Gemini's multimodality by giving the users flexibility to prompt using either images or text or a combination of both. We also implemented a design to give users the ability to re-prompt and regenerate a new recipe if the initial output is unsatisfactory. By clearly defining the output structure, we can parse the generate response into an easy to read format to be displayed in a visually pleasing way to the user.
