AKA Foods is a pioneering food tech company, aspiring to transform new product development via artificial intelligence. In 2019, we started designing AKA Studio, a food-specific, secure AIpowered system. This platform enables food companies to create, optimize and launch products much faster, smarter and affordably by unifying a company’ s own knowledge, R & D data and sensory analytics, into one structured and accessible location. Within the platform, AI is a tool to be used by food scientists, helping to suggest formulations and optimizations based on the requested requirements, such as, reduced sugar content or high in fiber.
