🚀 Start A Moneymaker: Build a Snap Meal AI App

Do you like cooking?

 If Yes - you will have plenty of ideas on how to build an app to help people cook their meals.

If No - then, you are like me - I need to know how to cook a healthy meal as fast as possible- less than 15min.

🤫 The app would suggest recipes based on the ingredients users have at home.

👉 It would use image recognition and text input. But only recipes that take less than 20 min to make.

SnapMeal is a name I came up with. You can choose your name. How about 😀 

• SmartChef

• FoodieSnap

• FastMeal

  

People are busy, and cooking takes time. And also you need to come up with different meals every day.

A SnapMeal App could be very helpful.

Snap a photo and give me the recipe. Done!

You can also niche down if you prefer- Vegans, Vegetarians, Keto Lovers?

👀 Your Mission: 

Help people make meals fast

🏆 Your Action Plan 🏆

🔧 Step 1: Research

1. Check what is available in the market. Test the current apps. Find areas for improvement or identify missing elements.

2. Explore each app and make a list of their main features. I found those apps: Mealime, Yummly, Supercook

3. Create your list of original ideas that your app will stand out.

🔧 Step 2: Add Your Personal Touch

Start with the list you created in the previous step with your original ideas.

Let's brainstorm some unique angles.

• Add OpenAI API. Using AI, users would upload photos of protein and veggies. AI would then create categories for each.

• Incorporate Voice? How about users open the app, and snap a photo of chicken and veggies (it could be zucchini or asparagus)? User says: give me a quick 15-minute recipe and AI voice will walk you through the steps.

•  Visuals of food trays for small parties

• People love cheese plates. Suggestions and Visuals of Cheeseplates?

• Later on, depending on your users, you can add personal chefs that provide this service- great for busy people.

🔧 Step 3: Build

• Use no-code tools to build fast. Here are some: Glide, Adalo, Softr, Bubble.io (not an affiliate)

• Build in public

• While building in public, show your original ideas and ask for feedback

• First Offer for Free, then Test and Iterate

🔧 Step 4: Market Your App

Marketing and sales, not your thing? No sweat! Let's brainstorm other ways to get people excited

Here are some free options:

• Find out where Foodies, Recipe Influencers, and Chefs are. They are your target market. See where they are hanging out. Then, go talk to them.

• Make funny videos. Find creators to collaborate with.

• Go to Reddit, Facebook Groups, and Twitter and try to help people with meaningful comments.

• Reach out to newsletter writers and ask for them to share your app. (you can offer them something in exchange).

Ok, time to take action!

Life is busy and we run out of daily ideas for cooking, everyone could enjoy a SnapMeal app in their pocket 🤤
