Pasta brand Barilla has launched 'Antoni,' an artificial intelligence-based personal chef service in Israel. Antoni generates custom recipes based on ingredients users already have at home, their available time, the number of people dining, and dietary preferences. The service operates in Hebrew and is accessible by scanning a QR code found on Barilla products and in pasta and sauce aisles of select supermarkets, eliminating the need for app downloads or registration.
Users interact with Antoni through a brief conversation in Hebrew after scanning the QR code. They provide details about their existing ingredients, time constraints, and the number of diners. Additionally, users can specify which Barilla products they have or wish to purchase, along with any dietary sensitivities or preferences. Based on this input, the AI creates a personalized recipe in real-time, with each interaction yielding a unique result.
According to the company, Antoni also helps users find creative ways to utilize existing Barilla pasta and sauce products they already have at home.
