Summary

We built an application that provides information on food and recipes to users over WhatsApp using Twilio, Python, Flask, and MongoDB. The user journey involves sending a message with the name of a recipe and receiving a response with instructions to prepare the meal. We set up the Twilio WhatsApp sandbox, created a database with dummy recipe data, and wrote code to handle searches and send messages. We also exposed the application over the internet using ngrok and tested it by sending a message to a phone number.
