Produce selection assistant showing ripeness indicators

An AI assistant that teaches you how to pick ripe fruits and vegetables at the market. Built for reducing food waste and building confidence at the market.

How It Works

Visual Analysis

Upload images asking “is this ripe?” and get detailed feedback on:

  • Current ripeness stage
  • Expected days until peak
  • Signs to look for

Knowledge Base

Ask “what to look for when buying mangoes” and get:

  • Visual cues (color, skin texture)
  • Tactile cues (firmness, weight)
  • Smell indicators
  • Seasonal considerations

Adaptive Learning

The skill learns from your preferences over time:

  • You like firmer avocados? It adjusts recommendations
  • You prefer sweeter melons? It factors that in

Example Queries

"Is this avocado ripe?"

"What should I look for when buying tomatoes?"

"How do I know if a watermelon is sweet?"

"This mango smells sweet but feels hard—should I buy it?"

Why This Matters

Food waste often starts at the store:

  • Buying produce that’s already past peak
  • Avoiding good produce because you’re unsure
  • Not knowing how to time ripening at home

This skill helps you buy smarter and waste less.
