Recipes from Receipts: AI Cooking, Kidpreneur E-Com & Replit’s $250M Raise

This week on Built This Week, Jordan Metzner and Sam Nadler bring a mix of practical, playful, and breaking AI news.

First, Jordan demos Ryz Chef, a tool that turns your grocery receipts (Amazon, Instacart, even fridge photos) into 11 Mediterranean-inspired recipes — complete with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert options. Then Sam shares how he and his daughter are using AI-generated imagery to launch a small e-commerce project selling 3D-printed hoodie charms, combining entrepreneurship, creativity, and social good. Finally, the hosts break down the biggest AI news: Replit’s $250M raise at a $3B valuation, Oracle’s AI-fueled surge, Vimeo’s acquisition, and Robinhood’s new “social trading” product.
