acquired by Samsung NEXT
last year, today unveiled its advanced food AI developed in collaboration with nutritionists, food scientists, software engineers and food retailers from the US, UK, Korea and overseas. 'Europe.
Whisk's FoodAI brings together user preferences, intent and context to deliver personalized dining experiences. To inform the AI, users simply save a few of their favorite recipes to Whisk's recipe box and, if they wish, share their personal food preferences (e.g. tastes, dietary restrictions, usual retailers) and their location. Users then receive personalized food recommendations based on their preferences, saved recipes, and other contexts (eg, local weather, seasonal produce).

The personalized model The culinary experience presented today at the
CES 2020
is made possible by the combination of Food AI and the
new Samsung Family Hub
with the ViewInside camera, where AI-based image recognition is used to first understand what's inside the fridge. Then the fridge recommends a curated recipe feed that integrates the ingredients you already have with your preferences, wants, and situational needs.

. When added to the fact that people usually end up cooking the same 7-9 dishes over and over, people are uninspired to come up with creative solutions to use up leftover ingredients, wasting food, time and money."

"Whisk's Food AI takes the ingredients you have and finds uses for them through an understanding of the types of recipes you love, making your cooking experience simpler and smarter."
