### ⭐ Community Highlights

@profotomedia shared [TotallyChefs - a social network for food lovers](https://community.vercel.com/t/totallychefs-a-social-network-for-food-lovers/6114). It started as a small personal blog to save favorite recipes and grew into being a community for recipes and cooking. It’s ad free with no cost to sign up, and built from the ground up with Next.js and Vercel!

@BestCodes made a [free audio transcriber](https://community.vercel.com/t/free-audio-transcriber-on-vercel/5952) that’s open source and deploy with Vercel. If you give it a try with audio files you want converted to text, be sure to share your feedback or contribute to the repo.

@hayfaawshan from Cosine gave us a [live demo of their AI software engineering model](https://community.vercel.com/t/how-cosine-autonomously-deploys-and-integrates-with-vercel/5775). We saw how Genie can autonomously tackle tasks and deploy changes so you can focus on bigger things.
