Don't know what to cook? Chefbot finds recipes for ingredients you have

Have you ever looked at the ingredients in your fridge and have no idea what to cook? Help is on the way.

Kroger created Chefbot, an A.I.-powered Twitter recipe tool that helps users pair the groceries in their refrigerator and reduce food waste by providing mealtime inspiration and personalized recommendations.

How does it work?

Users snap a photo of three ingredients from their refrigerator or pantry. Then they tweet their photo to @KrogerChefbot. Through artificial intelligence, Chefbot identifies ingredients and then scans thousands of unique recipes on Kroger.com. Within seconds, Chefbot responds to the user's original tweet to deliver a list of personalized recipe recommendations based on the selected ingredients.

Just like that, you don't have to order a pizza.
