## What is Minimate?

Minimate is an AI-powered kitchen companion designed to help people reduce food waste, stay organised, and make the most of the food they already own.

Using smart receipt and food scanning technology, Minimate automatically builds a digital pantry by identifying groceries, estimating expiry dates, and organising items into categories like fridge, freezer, and cupboard. Instead of manually tracking ingredients, users can simply scan a receipt or food item and let Minimate handle the rest.

As food approaches expiry, Minimate sends reminders and recommends recipes tailored to ingredients already available in the home. Whether users want quick meals, high-protein recipes, or ideas to use ingredients before they expire, Minimate helps turn forgotten groceries into practical meals.

Core Features:
• AI receipt scanning and pantry automation
• Food item scanning and ingredient recognition
• Smart expiry tracking and reminders
• Personalised recipe recommendations
• “Use It Soon” meal suggestions for expiring ingredients
• Weekly meal planning tools
• Shopping list integration
• Pantry organisation by section and category
• Food waste and savings insights
• Saved recipes and cooking guidance
• Voice and dictation-assisted food logging
• “Ask Away” AI assistant for ingredient questions and food suggestions

Minimate is built around the philosophy of appreciating what you already have. Rather than encouraging overconsumption, the app promotes small, sustainable habits that help users save money, waste less food, and feel more connected to the food they buy.

Developed under the Love Yourz brand, Minimate combines practical kitchen tools with mindful living — helping people create smarter habits without adding complexity to everyday life.
