The Problem: 🧐 Grocery Shopping is Broken. Manually comparing food prices across different stores is a tedious, time-consuming process. Consumers lose money, and local businesses lose potential customers. This inefficiency is absurd.
The Solution: 💡 PantryPal. Built in 10 Minutes. With Google Opal. We envisioned an app that does the hard work for you. PantryPal takes your list of food items and your location, then instantly matches you with the best prices and local businesses. No code. Just logic.
How It Works: ⚙️ The Magic of Vibe Coding. We simply described the app's goal to Opal. It instantly generated a visual workflow, chaining together user inputs, AI processing, and a web search for local business data.
The entire workflow is a clean, visual diagram - no spaghetti code, just pure efficiency.
User Input: Shoppers enter their food items and budget.
AI Processing: The app understands the request.
Location & Search: It uses the provided location to find nearby stores.
Output: A clean, web-formatted list is generated, showing similar products, business names, and contact numbers
The Bottom Line: This isn't just about saving a few dollars on groceries. It's about leveraging AI to reclaim your time. PantryPal is a testament to what's possible when you stop asking for permission and start building.
