CucinAI: The Future of Kitchen Management with AI

The Food Waste Problem in Turkey

According to TurkStat and FAO data, approximately 7.7 million tons of food are wasted annually in Turkey. A significant portion of this waste originates from households. What are the main causes of household food waste?

• Forgotten products: Food items that sit at the back of the fridge, spoiling unnoticed
• Unplanned shopping: Grocery runs without knowing what we actually need
• Lack of expiry date tracking: Not remembering when products will expire

The common thread is information gap. We don't have real-time visibility into what's in our fridges, pantries, and freezers.

CucinAI's Approach

CucinAI is an AI-powered kitchen assistant focused on solving this problem through technology. Here's what we offer:

Automatic Inventory via Receipt Scanning

After grocery shopping, simply point your camera at your receipt. The Gemini AI vision model automatically parses product names, quantities, and units from your receipt. Within seconds, all items are added to your inventory.

Expiry Date Tracking

Every product is saved with an estimated expiry date. CucinAI sends daily push notifications for items approaching their expiry. Nothing slips through the cracks.

AI-Powered Recipe Generation

Based on the products currently in your fridge, Claude AI generates personalized recipes. Recipes are available in Turkish, English, and Italian, with portion adjustments based on your household size.

Smart Shopping Lists

Track low or depleted items from your inventory and create shopping lists on the go.

User Experience

CucinAI's philosophy is simple: "Scan your fridge, reduce waste, discover new recipes."

Rather than feeling like a complex inventory management system, the app is designed as an assistant that naturally integrates into your daily life. One-tap receipt scanning, automatic notifications, and instant recipe suggestions — all in your pocket.
