Samsung is launching Samsung Food, a personalised, AI-powered food and recipe app, to support weekly meal planning. Samsung Food offers more than 160,000 recipes for Australians to discover new dishes, create tailored meal plans and order ingredients online. The service also helps users control their cooking appliances and access guided cooking experiences.
Samsung Food also comes with a Personalised Recipe function, enabling the apps Food AI to update a saved recipe to cater to specific dietary requirements. Users can convert a recipe into vegan or vegetarian, or convert a recipe to fit their preferred nutritional needs, or even include ingredients that that they may already have in the pantry.
Samsung Food draws from the extensive database of smart food platform, Whisk, acquired by Samsung Next in 2019, which leverages advanced technology called Food AI to suggest meals based on user preferences and food seasonality.
To create individualised daily meal plans for users, the app makes AI-created recommendations based on user data, dietary preferences and favourite cuisine types and lets users add them to their meal planner. Nutritional breakdowns of ingredients are also available at any time.
Beyond Samsung Food capabilities available at launch, Samsung will continue adding new features and services to the app for an even more seamless and comprehensive personal food experience.
By the end of the year, Samsung plans to offer Samsung Health integration with Samsung Food so that users will be able to receive suggestions for diet management. Syncing of information such as BMI, body composition and calorie consumption with Samsung Food will help users achieve health goals and maintain a balanced diet.
Planned for implementation in 2024, Vision AI technology will enable Samsung Food to recognise food items and meals photographed through the camera and provide details about them, including nutrition information.
