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).

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.
