Your kitchen.
Your AI chef.
GPT-4o creates personalized recipes from what you actually have. No more staring at your fridge wondering what to cook. No more running to the store for one missing ingredient. The AI knows your inventory and builds recipes around it — with dietary filters, step-by-step instructions, and Instacart delivery for anything you're missing.
Recipes from your kitchen.
Not someone else's.
Every other recipe app gives you recipes and tells you to go buy ingredients. ScanMyPantry does the opposite — it looks at what you already own and builds meals around it. The AI understands flavor pairings, cooking techniques, and dietary needs. It won't suggest a recipe requiring 8 ingredients you don't have. It will suggest the best possible meal from what's in your fridge right now.

AI Recipe Generator FAQ
How does AI recipe generation work?
ScanMyPantry uses GPT-4o to generate recipes based on your actual inventory. The AI analyzes what you have, considers dietary preferences (vegetarian, gluten-free, keto, etc.), and creates personalized recipes with step-by-step instructions. No more wondering 'what can I cook with what I have?' — the answer is one tap away.
Can I filter recipes by dietary preferences?
Yes. You can set permanent dietary filters (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, keto, dairy-free, nut-free, halal) and the AI will only generate recipes that match. You can also specify preferences per recipe — 'make it high protein' or 'quick, under 20 minutes'.
What if I'm missing an ingredient?
The AI shows a 'missing ingredients' list for every recipe. One tap exports it to your shopping list. With Instacart integration (US/CA), you can order missing ingredients for delivery in as little as 30 minutes. Available in the Unlimited plan.
Does the recipe generator work with dietary restrictions?
Yes — fully. Set your dietary profile once (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, keto, dairy-free, nut-free, halal) and all generated recipes respect those restrictions. The AI is also good at suggesting substitutions: 'I don't have eggs' → it suggests applesauce, flax eggs, or commercial egg replacer.
Can I get recipes without a subscription?
Yes. Basic recipe suggestions from your inventory are free. The full AI recipe generator with GPT-4o, dietary filters, Instacart integration, and unlimited recipe generation is part of the Unlimited subscription ($6.99/mo or $29.99/yr).
