  • Integrations & infrastructure

    Low

    Standard hosting and AI models handle extraction from public URLs and uploaded media.

  • Human operations

    Low

    The product is fully automated; no staff are needed to deliver recipes to users.

  • Regulation / hardware

    Low

    No licences or approvals are required to run a recipe-saving app.
