When you connect Ehfina to ChatGPT or Claude, the AI assistant gains access to a set of tools that let it interact with your taste profile. These tools are the only way Ehfina and your AI assistant communicate.

Reading your data

Your AI assistant can retrieve information from your Ehfina profile to inform recommendations:

  • View your taste profile — see your recorded preferences, taste patterns, and profile details
  • Review preference evidence — see the underlying experiences and statements that shape your profile
  • View recorded experiences — see specific dining experiences you've logged
  • List your experiences — browse through your history of recorded meals and visits
  • View recommendation history — see past recommendations and their outcomes
  • Search restaurants — find restaurant information to match against your preferences
  • Resolve restaurant details — get detailed information about a specific restaurant
  • Get recommendation context — assemble evidence-based context for generating a personalized recommendation

Recording and updating

Your AI assistant can also help you build your taste profile by recording new information:

  • Record a dining experience — log a new meal, including restaurant, date, and participants
  • Add experience feedback — rate or comment on items from a recorded experience
  • Correct a previously recorded experience — update details of an existing record (the original is preserved as history)
  • Record a recommendation — save a recommendation that was made for you
  • Record recommendation outcome — note what happened after a recommendation (did you go? did you like it?)
  • State a preference directly — tell Ehfina about a preference that isn't tied to a specific experience

Sharing and groups

Ehfina supports controlled sharing with specific people:

  • Create a sharing group — start a group for sharing preferences with others (e.g., family, dining partners)
  • Invite someone to a group — send an invitation by user ID or email
  • Accept an invitation — join a group you've been invited to
  • Decline an invitation — turn down a group invitation
  • View groups and memberships — see the groups you belong to
  • Withdraw consent — immediately revoke your consent for a specific sharing arrangement
