📚 Kollection

You've been there.
47 saved recipes. A full fridge.
Still ordering Uber Eats.

The gap between "food in the fridge" and "what's for dinner" is where money, time, and good intentions disappear.

📱
Recipe black holes
Hundreds saved on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest. Never made a single one.
🥦
Fridge blindness
Buying the same things you already have. Finding spinach soup three days after it expired.
🤷
"I don't know what to make"
Standing at the fridge for five minutes, then pulling out your phone to order delivery.
How it works

Three steps to knowing what's for dinner

No account setup. No manual input. Just your phone camera and the food already in your kitchen.

1
📸
Point at your fridge
Open KaiLens, tap scan, and hold your phone up to your fridge or pantry. Kai's AI sees what's there — eggs, parmesan, spinach — and adds it all automatically. No typing required.
2
🔗
Import your saved recipes
Paste in any Instagram or TikTok recipe link. Kai extracts every ingredient automatically. You can also browse the AI-generated recipes Kai suggests based on what's already in your kitchen.
3
✅
See exactly what you can make
Kai matches your kitchen to your recipes and tells you: "You can make this tonight. Missing 2 things." Green means you're good to go. No more guessing.
Built different

Everything your kitchen needs

Kai doesn't just track food. It actively helps you use what you have before it goes to waste.

📷
AI Food Scanning
Real computer vision — not barcode scanning. Kai actually sees your food and identifies it, right down to "~200g parmesan block".
⏰
Expiry Tracking
Kai estimates shelf life based on what was scanned. You'll get nudges before things go bad — so the spinach actually gets used.
🧾
Receipt Scanning
Just did a Countdown or Pak'nSave run? Scan your receipt and Kai adds everything at once, sorted by fridge, pantry, and freezer.
✦
AI Recipe Generation
Ask Kai to suggest recipes based on what's in your fridge right now. Powered by Claude AI — the results are actually good.
"I built this because I was tired of standing at my fridge, guessing."

🛠️
No coding background
I'm not a developer. I built this whole app with AI anyway — because the problem was real enough to figure it out.
🏙️
Built solo in Auckland
No funding. No team. Just a home cook who got sick of wasting food and ordering takeaways with a full fridge.
🎯
One problem, solved properly
I didn't want to build another recipe app. I wanted to solve the gap between what's in your fridge and what's on your plate.
