As the number of people eating at home increases due to the spread of the new corona infection, services that automatically propose recipes from ingredients in refrigerators, etc. using AI = artificial intelligence are beginning to spread.
Sapporo Holdings Limited, a major beer maker, has recently begun a demonstration experiment of a service that proposes recommended recipes from ingredients at home in collaboration with major supermarkets such as Ito-Yokado.
Using a dedicated app equipped with AI functions, from data such as purchase records of online supermarkets and the rest of ingredients detected in the refrigerator, we propose a menu that can be cooked that day from about 16,000 types and how to make it I will also introduce.
Masashi Hosaka, the manager of the beer maker that develops the business, said, "If the number of users increases, we will be able to see the movement of ingredients at home, so we would like to make use of it for new product development."
In addition, Sharp, a major electronics manufacturer, connects home appliances such as microwave ovens and refrigerators via the Internet, inputs information on ingredients at home, AI proposes recommended menus, and automatically sets heating time etc. We are starting the service to be done.
As the number of people eating at home increases due to the spread of the new corona infection, it is expected that the service will be further expanded in the future as an effort to reduce the burden on daily cooking and so-called food loss.
