What AI model does Receipt 2 meal use?

📅 Updated July 2026✅ Fact-checked
Quick Answer

Meal generation is powered by Google's Gemini 2.5-flash — chosen for fast, low-latency, cost-efficient recipe generation with dietary and allergen awareness. Receipt photo parsing also uses Gemini's vision capabilities.

Detailed Answer

Receipt 2 meal runs on Google Gemini 2.5-flash. For meal generation it is the right fit because it returns useful recipes quickly and cheaply, while still respecting dietary needs and allergens you set.

The same family of models handles receipt photos. Gemini vision reads the scanned receipt and extracts the items before they enter your pantry.

If you would rather route requests through your own Google account, the GEMINI_API_KEY is env-configurable. Point it at your own key and the app will use it.
