Intelligent Meal Planning: A Generative LLM-Based Autonomous Agent Application

In this paper, we present What’s for Dinner, an intelligent mobile application that transforms meal planning by integrating advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) with state-of-the-art image analysis and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. Our innovative system accurately identifies food items, maintains a dynamic virtual pantry, and retrieves or generates personalized recipe recommendations complete with detailed instructions. By leveraging an API-driven architecture, the system eliminates the need for local model storage and enables efficient real-time processing. The application couples a precise photo analysis module with a sophisticated recommendation engine, codenamed "Sous-Chef", ensuring scalability and high performance.

Abstract

In this paper, we present What’s for Dinner, an intelligent mobile application that transforms meal planning by integrating advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) with state-of-the-art image analysis and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. Our innovative system accurately identifies food items, maintains a dynamic virtual pantry, and retrieves or generates personalized recipe recommendations complete with detailed instructions. By leveraging an API-driven architecture, the system eliminates the need for local model storage and enables efficient real-time processing. The application couples a precise photo analysis module with a sophisticated recommendation engine, codenamed "Sous-Chef", ensuring scalability and high performance.
