Our PlantPure AI Kitchen Tool
An explanation and user instructions
While we are not fans of some of the intended uses of artificial intelligence in our world and worry that governments and industries are failing to adequately address the risks inherent in this technology, we also know AI can do good, whether helping to advance environmental and other research or even in healing people through food.
Toward that end, we have created a PlantPure AI kitchen tool that replicates the ‘comfort food’ culinary style of our head of culinary development and education, PlantPure Chef Kim Campbell. This tool can create endless and personalized recipes using our PlantPure meal starters, which were designed to make plant-based home-cooking easier.
Development of this technology took countless hours of trial-and-error interaction with the most advanced AI platform available, followed by sophisticated software development. The answers produced by the current form of our tool are often accurate, but there are still instances when these answers may fall a little short. In most cases, you can re-ask the question, but with more specificity to address the shortcoming, to get a more accurate and perhaps personalized answer (see instructions below).
We’re still working hard to refine this tool and are inviting our community to share their experiences with us. You can email us at info@plantpurenation.com with any observations and/or suggestions. If you see a recurring problem in the answers you’re getting, no matter how small, please let us know. And if you generate a recipe that knocks your socks off, let us know that as well. We’ll compile these ‘best in class’ recipes and share them with our community.
To get started, it’s important that you understand how to use this tool, so here are some instructions.
User Instructions
Begin your request for a recipe by writing “Provide a recipe” followed by your specific instructions for the kind of recipe you are looking for. Here are a few examples:
Burger pack:
Provide a recipe for a pesto-flavored burger
Provide a recipe for veggie balls I can use in a stroganoff recipe
Cheese pack:
Provide a recipe for a one-pot entrée using these ingredients from my fridge: ____
Provide a recipe for a dip incorporating these vegetables: ____
If the answer from your initial query is lacking in any respect, you can re-ask the question, but providing more specificity tailored to address the shortcoming you’ve identified. The tool does not ‘remember’ your prior request, so every time you make a request, you’re starting over. The best way to demonstrate this point is by providing an example.
Let’s say you requested a recipe but got an answer that included ingredients you don’t have on hand, that was just one step too long, that incorporated an ingredient in a way you don’t like, or that was too similar to a recipe you already generated. You can re-ask the question, but with this additional specificity:
Please provide a recipe for (your original request) but omitting the use of ____
Please provide a recipe for (your original request) but using only these vegetables: ____
Please provide a recipe for (your original request) but using only ____ cooking steps
Please provide a recipe for (your original request) but roasting cubes of tofu rather than incorporating them into the dish fresh
Please provide a recipe for (your original request) but not this recipe: ____
Knowing how to ask the question initially, then how to refine the answer you’re getting to settle on something you like, is all you need to know to get started. We hope you love this tool and our PlantPure meal starters as much as we do.
Our dream is to grow demand for our meal starters so that we can make further product improvements, add new products to the mix, and undertake larger production runs that drive our costs down, which we’ll then pass along to you in the form of lower prices. We also will make these products available to the nonprofit PlantPure Communities to support outreach strategies in low-income communities, waiving our profit margin.
We’re a business whose mission is to help build a plant-based world. This requires education, but also ongoing access to healthy, delicious, convenient, and affordable plant-based foods. We invite you to join us in this mission.
Thank you.
