How to Create a Beverage with Sipz (Part 1)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzAaOgzJ8Ic

Start with the recipe form

The Sipz creation page is split into two main areas. The recipe input form is where you describe the drink you want, and the Brewster chat window is where you can ask questions about what the AI is doing.

The control panel sits above the chat. Open it with View the control panel, where you can see controls like the Generate full recipe button. This is the main button for recipe generation using Sipz, as long as at least one form field has been filled in.

Generate a first recipe

To start, try entering Traditional Cosmopolitan in the name field at the top of the form on the left, then click Generate full recipe. A full generation usually takes about two minutes. (It can take longer if the system encounters internal failures)

Upon completion you should see a draft recipe in the form, here you can review the recipe from top to bottom. If the ingredients are shown in metric units, you can use Swap units to switch from milliliters to ounces or standard units like cups/tbsp.

Edit ingredients and resolve them

You can add ingredients manually from the ingredients section. For example you can add ice by clicking Add ingredient and entering the amount.

Each ingredient has a resolved or unresolved status. Sipz tries to connect every ingredient to an ingredient database that stores nutrition information. A resolved ingredient is connected successfully. An unresolved ingredient still stays in the recipe, but it will not be included accurately in nutrition and health calculations.

If an ingredient does not resolve, click the red unresolved status to open the modal. Enter a better matching database name and try again. In the tutorial video, Citron vodka is resolved as vodka, and ice can be resolved as water.

Use substitutes carefully

Each ingredient also has a View substitutes option. This can help you swap one ingredient for another, such as replacing cranberry juice with cranberry pomegranate juice.

After a substitution, ensure to resolve the new ingredient again. If you click Try again without entering a replacement name, Sipz will try to resolve the ingredient using the current ingredient name typed into the form field.

Read the health report

The health report is based on resolved ingredients. Click Generate health report, (takes ~30 seconds) then open View health report when it is ready.

The report includes an important disclaimer: it is generated automatically, may be inaccurate or incomplete, and is for informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Consult a qualified health care professional before making health decisions.

The left side shows estimated nutrition information. The right side summarizes possible positive and negative health effects. For standard recipes (i.e. ones which are not health-focused), the report may be less central, but it can still help you understand the recipe.

If an ingredient should not be consumed, such as ice used only for shaking, mark it unresolved before regenerating the health report so it does not affect the nutrition estimate. Only resolved ingredients are included in the nutritional summary and health report.

Understand recipe quality checks

After generation, the chat window may show a taste similarity check. A low similarity score can mean the recipe is very unique, but it can also indicate a weaker or hallucinated result. A score above about 60 percent is usually more acceptable.

The ingredient alignment score works by comparing the recipe's pairings with combinations found in known recipes. Higher alignment means the ingredients are more likely to work well together.

Refine with the control panel

Looking back at the control panel, you can see controls such as clear selected fields, regenerate a full recipe, generate individual fields, and the additional instructions input box. Try clearing everything except beverage type and ingredients, then regenerate with the Generate full recipe button. Sipz will update the rest of the form around the ingredient changes you kept.

If at any point you want to inject your own instructions into the prompt you can use the additional instructions box. This can be very important if you don't want to do any of the recipe formatting yourself, and just want Sipz to do something like "generate me something with Vodka".

The single-field generation button can be used to generate a single form field by sending what is visible in the existing form field. Note that single-field generation always overwrites the selected field. Full recipe generation only overwrites more freely when Allow AI to overwrite my entries is enabled. That setting also allows tools to be called from the recipe chat window.

Add an image and publish

The final creation step is adding an image. You can upload your own image or use Generate from form to create an AI-generated stock photo. Note that AI-generated photos are very basic as it is preferred to upload a real-life version of the recipe!

Once finished, press the Preview recipe or Continue to next step at the top right of the page. On the recipe preview page, you can review the public version, edit any final fields, and optionally customize flavor pill colors. To post the recipe publicly, click the Post recipe button when the recipe is ready to publish. The post recipe has some internal workflows to ensure the recipe posted is legitimate, so it may say ~30 seconds to a minute to post.
