What I Built

FoodMood-Whatsapp-Bot_post
.
FoodMood-Bot is designed to enhance the cooking experience by providing mood-based recipe recommendations and personalized food-related assistance. It leverages the capabilities of Twilio and OpenAI to create an interactive and engaging user experience on WhatsApp.

Twilio and AI

I used Twilio's WhatsApp API to interact with users in real-time, collecting mood inputs and delivering tailored recipe suggestions and Openai's Chat completion and Create Image APIs. OpenAI powers the bot's ability to understand and respond to user queries intelligently, ensuring that the food recommendations are both appropriate and enjoyable.
