GOOGLE has revealed a clever trick to save you time and money on Boxing Day. All it takes is sending a single photo to its app, according to the tech giant. It works using Google's Gemini AI chatbot, which is a virtual helper like ChatGPT. Google says Gemini can analyse a photo of your fridge – and then tell you what you can make with any Christmas Day leftovers.

"Gemini can help solve post-Christmas cooking conundrums by providing inspiration on what to do with your leftover sprouts, cheese, turkey, and cranberry sauce," says Google. The search engine giant also noted that those are some of the most "leftover" ingredients, according to research.

So how does it work? First download the Google Gemini app, which is totally free. It's available on both Android via the Google Play Store or iPhone through the Apple App Store for iOS. Then you can enter text and ask questions about anything – not just leftovers.

But if you want to make the most of all of that food you splashed out on, go and snap a photo of the inside of your fridge. Then upload the image right into the Gemini app, and ask it to help you decide what to make with your Christmas dinner leftovers.
Google says that the app "will deliver original and tasty meal inspiration to suit all tastes and requirements". You can even be specific, asking it for quick recipes, something for dessert, meals that only require one pan, or any other request that you've got.
