Me:new" is an app that uses AI to automatically create your daily menu. It automatically creates a menu for up to a week in an instant, and gives advice on cooking methods for children according to their age. The app, which offers nutritionally balanced menus supervised by a registered dietitian and is allergy and baby food friendly, won the grand prize in the BabyTech® Award Japan 2020 Feeding and Eating category. BabyTech.jp caught up with Nobuyuki Miyake, CEO of me:new, to learn more about the app, how it was developed, and what the future holds.
Thinking about the "daily menu" can be quite stressful.
Editor: Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule today. Right off the bat, can you give us an overview of "me:new" and its features?
Miyake： "me:new" is a cooking service application that automatically creates a menu that considers the user's age, preferences, and even nutritional balance. There are four features of the service, and the first is that it can automatically create menus for up to a week. Basically, all you have to do is specify a "time period" and the menu will be automatically suggested. The second feature is that a "shopping list" of ingredients necessary for the generated menu is automatically created. The items on the shopping list are organized by supermarket section, so you won't have to go back and forth between stores or forget to buy what you need. The third feature is that the suggested menus are all "quick meals" (dishes that can be completed in a short time) carefully selected by a nutritionist, so you can save time cooking. The fourth feature is that the proposed menus take nutritional status into consideration, so the long-term health of the family can be achieved.
