MealMingle takes a photo and parses the amount of food in it, adding it to the database. It's application is for restaurants and grocery's giving food away, so that it's easier for them to share it with the local community.
It is made of two parts, the frontend and the backend. The frontend has two pages, one to add new food and one to see all available food. We are using a ChatGPT model to analyze the food, however it requires a private API key that is in the .env file and may run out of uses.
