PantryPilot
Don't let groceries rot in the back of your fridge ever more
PantryPilot aims to reduce the food wastage caused by inefficient meal planning at home. Other apps have used object detection in pictures to scan inventory, but we accept videos as well, alongside identifying items need to be used soon. Also, we dynamically generate a single recipe (and an image) using GPT-5.6, avoiding a fixed databases of recipes. This reduces indecision and adds flexibility to cooking. If short by 1-2 items, it also shows the nearest stores stocking them, and their prices.
Food insecurity remains a big challenge to solve in many parts of the world. Despite that, there is so much food wasted across households, grocery stores and restaurants. The United States itself wastes around 29% of its food (ReFED, 2026), at a time where 13.5% of its households are food insecure (U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, 2026).
Households are responsible for 33.5% of all surplus food waste in the U.S.A, at a cost of USD 728 per person, per year (ReFED, 2026). Most reasons are due to ingredients being spoiled after forgetting about them, over purchasing (Blondin et al., 2025), and inability to meal-plan in an effective manner. Furthermore, buying ingredients not commonly used in their regular diets can let them sit unused till they eventually have to be thrown out (Gunders & Bloom, 2017).
We made PantryPilot to take a small step towards reducing household food wastage. Let PantryPilot fly your forgotten-about groceries away from Destination: Garbage, straight to your plate.
