Director's Note

CrispIt is a mobile app developed during a HackTheCost Hackathon hosted at UBC. The app attempts to address the global issue of food waste by connecting AI intelligence to assess the freshness of produce and alerting users of spoilage or expiration dates. Users can simply scan their produce or the barcode of everyday groceries to find a freshness and carbon footprint score, helping them find the best products while gaining awareness about the environmental impact of their food choices. Additionally, it acts as a digital fridge that sends out reminders if a product is close to spoilage or expiration, and suggests recipes using Gemini API integrations based on what is expiring soon.
