If you or your learners are really into food, then this could be a useful and interesting AI to explore: https://bit.ly/4etFrZO "Foodbe is the first AI platform that answers food questions with the depth of a nutritionist, the knowledge of a food historian, and the instincts of a Michelin-level chef. Ask anythingβ€”why does garlic turn bitter, what does salmon do for inflammation, how do you get a perfect searβ€”and get answers from Neuro (food science), Oracle (food history and culture), and Chefy (cooking technique). Every answer is sourced and verified."
