Meal-planning app Whisk serves up new look and new name as Samsung Food

The app doesn’t dish dietary advice yet, but it’ll integrate with Samsung Health to help users track weight loss later this year — and in 2024, it’ll add Vision AI technology to estimate calorie counts from meal photos.

Users can save recipes, and while doing that, add ingredients to the shopping list. The platform offers integrations with e-commerce platforms in some regions so you can easily shop for these items.  

At its core, Samsung Food acts as a personalized assistant, offering over 160,000 recipes tailored to each user’s preferences and dietary requirements. The platform leverages AI technology, drawing from a vast database curated by Whisk, a smart food platform acquired by Samsung Next in 2019

Samsung Food uses AI technology to go beyond existing capabilities and deliver a food platform that adapts to the needs and lifestyles of its users.

Whisk lets you save recipes from anywhere on the web via a direct link. You can also search for recipes saved by other users. Whisk is free, and there aren’t ads in the app itself. Thanks to its Communities feature, you can join one of the many pre-existing communities or create your own. Since communities can be private, you can essentially set up a collaborative recipe book and meal plans with your family and friends.
