Deep dive into creating an AI-powered recipe saver for social media

Saving recipes from social media feeds and websites can be a disorganized process of screenshots and messy copied text. The new AI Recipe to Notes shortcut solves this by using Apple Intelligence to automatically extract, format, and save recipes directly into Apple Notes from virtually any source. This feature streamlines your digital kitchen, making it effortless to build a clean, consistent, and easy-to-read recipe library.

What's new

This release introduces the AI Recipe to Notes shortcut, a powerful new tool that leverages Apple Intelligence to understand web content. When you share a link from Instagram, TikTok, or a website, this shortcut parses the raw HTML to identify and extract recipe details. It intelligently formats the content into a structured list with a title, ingredients, and steps, then automatically creates a new entry in your Apple Notes app, complete with a link back to the original source.

How to use this feature

  1. Find a recipe you want to save on Instagram, TikTok, or a website in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button within the app or browser.
  3. Scroll through the share sheet options and select the AI Recipe to Notes shortcut.
  4. Wait a few moments as the shortcut processes the content using AI.
  5. A new, neatly formatted note containing your recipe will automatically be created in Apple Notes.

Key capabilities

  • Universal Compatibility: Save recipes from various sources, including Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, and traditional websites, using one unified shortcut.
  • Intelligent Formatting: The shortcut's AI model automatically identifies and separates the recipe title, ingredients, and steps, cleaning up extraneous text and ads.
  • Automatic Organization: Instantly creates a new, structured note for each recipe, building a consistent and easy-to-navigate digital recipe book.
  • Source Linking: Each saved note includes a direct link back to the original post or webpage, making it easy to watch the video or revisit the source.

Tips for getting the most out of this feature

To ensure easy access, make sure the AI Recipe to Notes shortcut is enabled in your share sheet. You can do this by opening the shortcut, tapping the (i) icon at the bottom, and toggling on Show in Share Sheet. You can also customize the shortcut to save all recipes to a specific folder in Apple Notes, such as a 'Recipes' folder, to keep everything organized in one place.
