AI Chef is a mobile assistant app that helps select and cook dishes based on available ingredients. Users can photograph their fridge, upload a photo of a dish, enter a list of products, or dictate preferences by voice.
The app is adapted for Uzbekistan's local traditions: it supports national recipes, uses local products, and operates in Uzbek, Russian, and English.
