Keep Fresh Food

Inspired by Samsung’s new AI Vision fridges but $2500 to $3500 USD cheaper because it’s free, my awesome *Keep Fresh Food* app uses the new GPT-5 to let you take a photo or video of what's in your fridge and get the quantity and condition of the visible food and the expiry days for each food item. You can even select items that are expired or close to expired or you're low on to order from Instacart for convenient and fast delivery to your door. Home users or restaurant employees can download a nice report to keep track of the food they have and its condition and expiry on an ongoing basis. Since GPT-5 can make mistakes, you can edit, add, and delete food items shown in the app as the human in the loop. When you upload a photo of what’s inside your fridge, etc., *Keep Fresh Food* uses the vision ability of GPT-5 to accurately detect the food items with their quantity and condition. When you upload a video instead, the app uses VideoDB to detect the food items in all scenes of the video, and then uses GPT-5 to dedupe the same items appearing in multiple scenes to get a final list of unique items in all parts of your fridge shown. To help you identify each item from the list, its location in the fridge (like side door, middle shelf) and its brand if visible are included. When you choose to get the expiry days of the food items, GPT-5’s reasoning ability and recent training data are used to estimate how many days are left before each expires. If an item is a group like a bunch of bananas where one banana is spoiled and the others are fresh, then the app shows status “Attention Required” even though the expiry days for the good bananas is shown. You can then select items from the list you want to order and the app uses GPT-5 to determine the amount you can buy from a grocery store. Note: for faster performance I actually use GPT-5 Mini instead of GPT-5. When the speed of GPT-5 improves, all it takes is changing an environment variable to use the more powerful model.
