Cooklist | Backend Django & Data Engineer | Austin, TX / Remote | https://cooklist.co

Cooklist is an all-in-one grocery app that works with 80+ retailers and is used by hundreds of thousands of people. Think Pinterest + Instacart + Mint.com combined into one.

What enables this that's different than anything before is the AI models and backend infrastructure we've built to connect households, retailers and recipes together.

We're on a mission to connect the grocery industry, build healthy humans and end food waste. We just raised a $2.4M seed led by Mercury Fund and are looking to hire exceptional engineers.

This is great! I cooked recipes generated by GPT-2 for Thanksgiving dinner this year and it was surprising how a recipe can look good on paper but then come out in a completely unexpected way. Wrote about the experience here if anyone wants to see the results: https://link.medium.com/DtHmAeBU4bb

Also we got access to GPT3 and it is remarkable how much better it is with just 2 example recipes compared to GPT2 fine tuned on hundreds of thousands of recipes.


I started working through this Bioinformatics Jupyter notebook and found that it is really well put together! If you're interested in working with DNA or proteins with Python I highly recommend it. https://github.com/applied-bioinformatics/An-Introduction-To...


You might want to checkout an app I built called Cooklist. It has the features of Paprika + Grocy + Instacart + Pinterest all in one. https://cooklist.co


One reason I bought Paprika is that it is a one-time-purchase. Do you have any thoughts on offering that?


Looks really great! I have a pretty solid workflow and dataset built up in the existing setup but when I'm looking to upgrade/update going to try it out. Thanks for the rec


How are you pulling purchase information from stores?


Really sharp looking website


works in Canada?


Only in the US at the moment but planning for Canada later this year


Just discovered recently that keynote does have a collaboration function through iCloud. Was a little clunky to get going but is working great now. Not quite google docs but it does instantly sync across devices when you save


All the iWork apps have collaboration functionality (with mostly full feature parity), and it works on macOS/iOS/web too.

Disclosure: Was a QA Engineer at Apple on those apps/that functionality.


If you have two iOS iWork apps, can each one sign into a separate iCloud account? Or are all iWork apps forced to use a device-wide iCloud login?


Unfortunately no; it just uses the system login set in Settings.


Hopefully Apple will enable multiple identities for apps as part of their new push for single signon. They recently added multiple device users for schools. Enterprise users can have per-app VPNs.

Ironically, because Google and Microsoft collaboration apps don't have iOS platform control, they are much more flexible in supporting multiple user identities.

There are many scenarios where information needs to be separated (projects, consultants, cross-org teams, OSS projects) and multiple identities are a proven means of separation and compliance. This needs to be possible without Enterprise MDM.


I think each just pulls from the system account.


Just curious, what makes it "clunky" to you?

For my use, there's a "Collaborate" button. You click it and invite people. Once they click the invitation, you can watch them view/edit.


We recently ran into this problem at Cooklist in the US. We ended up setting up the ability for our users to place orders up to 3 days out.

Our system then books their pickup order at midnight when the new pickup slots are opened. We are seeing that most pickup slots are filled for the next day by 9am.

It is interesting that the stores don't allow booking several days in advance anymore. It makes sense though because even with booking for the next day we are seeing that 25% to 50% of the order is substituted due to out of stocks.


Hi cofounder at Cooklist here.

Our small team has been working for nearly 2 years to build an one-in-all tool to make meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking an easy and seamless experience.

We've aggregated millions of products and recipes that you can add to your plan and then compare prices and order groceries from grocery stores across the US.

Thanks for checking out our project, we hope you like it and that it can help you save some time and money this Thanksgiving.

Happy to answer any questions.


Hi! This is a great app!

Is it works only in US?

How do you get actual prices? Is it some kind of scraping, or some other channels? (If is it not a secret)

Thanks!

Cooklist allows you to order groceries by choosing recipes you want to cook and shows you recipes you can cook with the groceries you buy.

Think Expedia for aggregating all the grocery retailers into one interface and Mint.com for importing all your retail purchase data into a digital pantry.

We just finished the TechStars Retail Program and announced a partnership with Target. We're a small team of experienced startup founders and engineers and are looking for another engineer to join our team.

Cooklist can connect directly to 77 grocery chains like Walmart, Safeway, Kroger etc. and automatically download every purchase a user makes in store and online. It uses NLP to match each product purchased to recipe ingredients. Over 1,000,000 products are matched to 1,000,000 recipes.

You can find more info and links to download the apps at https://cooklist.co or if interested in applying email hello@cooklist.co


Interesting seeing so many people asking for digital receipt data.

Cooklist lets you connect your loyalty cards and automatically download all your past and future purchases into one place. (like Mint.com for grocery)

You can see aggregations of all your grocery spending across retailers plus see recipe ideas to cook with the groceries you bought.

We've thought about introducing more advanced visualization of grocery spending or an export tool if anyone is interested.

Disclaimer: I'm a cofounder at https://cooklist.co


Just wanna say I just signed up and the concept is incredible. Looking forward to trying it out. I've been looking for an app like this for awhile.
