AI Recipe Generator

Vision-model ingredient recognition in testing — photograph what's in the fridge, get a tailored recipe back. Claude's vision API doing the heavy lifting.


03 About the operator

From reading meters to shipping models.

I'm Sean — 24, based in Congleton in the UK, mid-transition from Energy Analyst to full-time builder. The day job taught me to read systems, chase anomalies, and trust the data. Now I point that same instinct at what modern AI can actually do when you stop demoing and start shipping.

CSIntel started as a personal lab and turned into the place where ideas get built for real. The stack is genuine — Claude API, Python, React, TypeScript — and the work ranges from vision tools to multi-agent research systems. No mockups standing in for products.

I build in public and document the process as I go — what worked, what broke, and what I'd do differently. The build log matters as much as the build. If you're here, you're reading it.

CSI-001SHIPPED

CSIntel Research Assistant

A multi-agent research tool built on the Claude Agent SDK — a parent orchestrator spawns specialised subagents that fan out, gather, and synthesise. The original LOG 001, and the system this site is named for.

Carlina's Café Chatbot

A restaurant AI assistant demo — handles menu questions, bookings, and opening hours in a fully branded site. A worked example of an AI concierge dropped into a real small-business front end.

05 Method

How a project moves from idea to shipped.

PHASE 01

Identify

Find a real problem or a use case worth pressure-testing — something that reveals what AI can genuinely do when you stop demoing and start solving.

PHASE 02

Build

Use Claude and the sharpest available tools to ship fast. Iterate in the open. Don't wait for perfect — get something working and learn from what it does.

PHASE 03

Document

Log what worked, what didn't, and what's next. The build notes matter as much as the build — it's how the next project starts ahead of the last one.

06 Open channel

Building something, or want to follow along?

Freelance builds, API integrations, AI consulting, or just a conversation about what's possible — the channel's open.
