Ayme provides a proprietary multi-dimensional machine learning model that captures the granular perceptual characteristics of food—how dishes actually taste and feel—rather than relying on broad labels like cuisine or dietary tags. This food profiling infrastructure enables businesses to personalize discovery, forecast regional flavor preferences, reduce waste, and refine product offerings. The technology also powers a consumer recipe app that suggests meals tailored to individual tastes and available pantry ingredients.

Problem
Food businesses rely on broad labels such as cuisine, category, dietary requirements, and nutritional facts, which do not capture how a dish actually feels or tastes to a person. This surface-level metadata makes it difficult to personalize discovery, predict product performance, refine offerings, or understand why certain items underperform, leading to missed opportunities across recommendation, innovation, localization, and waste reduction.
Solution
Ayme solves this with a proprietary multi-dimensional food profiling model that captures granular perceptual characteristics of food. The model tags large recipe and product datasets with a richer description of what food is actually like, not just what it is called. This profiling becomes business infrastructure, enabling more precise filtering and search, sensory-based comparison, and deeper analysis of recipes and products beyond standard functional fields. On the consumer side, the ayme app uses this profiling to tailor recipe suggestions to individual preferences and pantry contents, solving the everyday “What shall I eat?” problem.
Target Audience
Primary customers are food businesses—including retailers, meal-kit providers, and food manufacturers—seeking deeper insight into consumer flavor preferences to drive sales, plus consumers using the ayme app for personalized recipe recommendations.
