In this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop we will learn how to build an AI-powered app "Building AI-Powered Recipe Apps” that suggests creative recipe ideas based on the ingredients they have at home. The app will accept either a photo of the ingredients, e.g., the contents of their fridge, or a text description. 🚀

Participants will explore multiple approaches to create this app, catering to different skill levels. For those with no coding experience, we’ll start with a no-code solution using Google AI Studio.

Next, we’ll dive into API integrations, accessing the Gemini 1.5 Pro model via Vertex AI, and building a custom app frontend with Gradio.

Finally, for privacy-conscious users, we’ll demonstrate how to build and deploy the app locally using a self-hosted LLM (Ollama/Gemma 2b), ensuring that no data leaves their device.✨
