How It Works
- 01
Send a dish photo
Snap a photo of a cooked dish and send it to Sentinel Cook on WhatsApp. One clear photo of a single dish is all it needs.
- 02
Get the recipe
The bot identifies the dish and returns a home-style recipe with an ingredient list, step-by-step method, and quick cooking tips.
- 03
See nutrition facts
Sentinel Cook adds estimated calories, macros, and sodium to the same chat thread — no app, no account, no friction.
Features
Dish Recognition
Identifies popular dishes from a single WhatsApp photo with a confidence score included in the reply.
Recipe Generation
Returns practical home-style recipes with a full ingredient list and numbered, step-by-step cooking method — from a photo or a plain-text request.
Nutrition Snapshot
Provides estimated calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and sodium in a clean, scannable summary.
Personal Recipe Library
Syncs a linked Google Drive of recipe docs into a searchable library, so users can ask for a recipe they've saved before by name.
Low-Confidence Recovery
When confidence is too low, Sentinel Cook asks for a closer photo automatically instead of returning a bad result.
High-Volume Handling
Maintains consistent response quality and speed even during busy meal-time traffic spikes.
