<![CDATA[Open AI Integration]]>Just stumbled upon this and thought this might be interesting for others as well: Mealie has an integration with Open AI which enables importing recipes from images. Worked really well in my tests.

To enable this you'll need an API key and at least Tier 1 which you'll get after depositing 5$, see also https://docs.mealie.io/documentation/getting-started/installation/open-ai/.

For cloudron simply open the env file in the file manager and add OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_key>.

you have to prefix the env variables with export statement, as env.sh is a .sh file. So like:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=...

Ah, I didn’t know that – thanks a lot for the reply!
Problem solved ✅

I'm trying to activate ChatGPT integration in Mealie using OPENAI_API_KEY, but Mealie keeps logging:

-------==OPENAI==-------
Enabled: False  
Reason: OPENAI_API_KEY is not set

I tried adding to the env file:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
ENABLE_OPENAI=true
OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4

So far I haven’t been able to get ChatGPT integration working — has anyone run into this issue?
Thanks a lot for any help!

Also an interesting side fact: you can connect self hosted LLMs as long as they support the open ai api. It’s also mentioned in the docs.

I have been using Tandoor. tandoor doesn't have an integration yet - https://github.com/TandoorRecipes/recipes/discussions/2747 . Should consider mealie 🤔
