Hey @plantjammer I love this idea, perfect for Veganuary, could you please tell us more about the AI element? How does it know which ingredients taste good together?
Michael Haase
@abadesi Thanks for your support! Yes, I'd love to elaborate on the AI in our product :-) We use the workhorse of AI, 'the Neural Network', to know which ingredients go together. That means (buckle up, this is about to get nerdy): 1) We found 2.5 mn recipes online 2) Then we built a neural network of the individual ingredients in the recipes. Each recipe is essentially a vote on a set of ingredients going together. This creates a 'landscape of flavor', where ingredients that tend to go well together are close to eachother; 3) Then we extrapolated the findings from the neural network, by making a regression model of the individual aromas in each ingredient (e.g., there's 346 aromatic compounds in asparagus, that creates you flavor experience of those)... this step leads to unusual foodpairs, so we don't just get boring classics :-) 4) Finally, we added 'human intelligence' by talking to professional chefs and tagging each ingredients with the core components of good flavor (salt, umami, sour, oil, crunch, soft, sweet, bitter, spicy, fresh, and aromatic) and guiding the neural network to propose something from each of these components 5) In the end we wrapped all this up in the UX/product you see on www.plantjammer.com

I am soooo biased, as I'm the CEO and Founder of Plant Jammer :-)

However, this is my dream product, developed for my own needs to cook and eat more different and more veggies.

Please have a look and give feedback on michael@plantjammer.com - at this early stage feedback is gold!

Michael

WOW! I am humbled by the positive feedback today. Thank you Pratya for Hunting this! Thank you everyone for the many upvotes and more than 2000 visits to our page. Most importantly, thank you for all the really nice words. This has been one of the best days of my startup life - thank you!!! I will go to bed now, in Copenhagen. Hope to see more feedback and ideas when I wake up :-) What I learnt from Hunters: 1) Americans want Fahrenheit in their recipes, so we're making that; 2) Spanish-speakers want imperativ form not infinitive in recipes, so we're making that 3) Everybody wants to have fun cooking diverse delicious healthy stuff... so we're enabling that ;-) THANKS! Gracias! Tak! Michael, CEO and Founder Plant Jammer
