Description

Pluck saves recipes from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, food blogs and photos by reading the whole video: frames, on-screen text, audio and caption. Then it helps you cook them: a weekly meal plan that Fill my week can plan from your own recipes, a grocery list you can share live, a fridge-photo scan that shows what you can cook, cook mode with step timers, and an AI cooking assistant. Free plan; paid from $2.99/month. In English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Swedish.

Could you build this?

Partial While the meal planning and list UI are standard, extracting full recipes from social media video requires complex multimodal pipelines (audio transcription, OCR, frame sampling) and handling platform anti-scraping protections.

What it would actually take: The architecture would require a distributed video scraping backend (e.g., using yt-dlp and rotating proxies), Whisper for audio transcription, OpenCV/FFmpeg for keyframe extraction, and Vision-LLMs to reconcile onscreen text, audio, and captions into structured recipe JSON. The hardest part is reliably downloading and ingesting restricted social media video streams at scale across TikTok and Instagram.
