AI agent to make cooking more affordable, fun, and enjoyable.
Sssavor is an AI-powered kitchen companion that makes cooking affordable and enjoyable. Built around Maki, a chef cat mascot, it reduces food waste, tracks nutrition, and finds cheap ingredients nearby — saving money without losing any flavors.
Designing an AI tool that feels warm and approachable, not cold or robotic, while delivering fast, practical value to budget-conscious users with little cooking experience.
Standard AI interfaces force users into a back-and-forth chat loop — clunky for recipes where you need to read, reference, and adjust simultaneously without losing context.
Developed Maki as an interactive guide throughout the experience, using personality and micro-interactions to make the AI feel human, trustworthy, and fun rather than transactional.
Designed a dual-panel layout: full recipe as a living document on the right, with Maki's assistant panel on the left for quick adjustments and nutrition — keeping context intact without rewriting from scratch.
