# Powered by OpenServ

> OpenServ runs the AI behind Homecooked — the Sous Chef and recipe ingestion.

Homecooked's AI runs on **OpenServ**. Every intelligent feature in the app is powered by its inference infrastructure.

## What OpenServ powers

  <Card title="The Sous Chef" icon="hat-chef" href="/product/sous-chef">

    * Offers assistance while you cook
  </Card>

  <Card title="Recipe ingestion" icon="wand-magic-sparkles">
    * Upload a photo or paste a TikTok link

## Why OpenServ

* **Cost-efficient at scale** — cheaper inference than going direct, keeping the app's margins healthy as it grows
* **Better response quality** — Using OpenServ's reasoning model, Homecooked's AI sous chef provides better responses and the recipe ingestor reliably follows the complex logic that allows us to arrange recipe steps in a way that saves the most time.
