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.
