People cooking at home in Japan seek a easy and hands-free access to recipes

In a Nutshell

A leading Japanese food tech company partnered with us to build an intuitive recipe app featuring offline access and smart device integration — transforming cooking into a seamless and interactive experience.

 

Inside the Opportunity

  1. Growing interest in diverse cuisines requires recipe apps to be user-friendly and accessible during cooking.
  2. Lack of hands-free access limits convenience for users managing multiple cooking tasks simultaneously.
  3. Offline recipe availability is essential for users with inconsistent internet connectivity.
  4. Users want tools that simplify ingredient management and shopping for an enhanced cooking experience.
  5. Existing apps fail to offer dynamic recipe databases that keep content fresh and relevant.

  1. Developed a universal recipe app with a constantly updated, user-generated recipe database.
  2. Designed an intuitive interface with clear navigation, light backgrounds, and engaging visuals for ease of use.
  3. Integrated hands-free control via Alexa and Google Home for effortless access while cooking.
  4. Enabled offline access to recipes, ensuring usability even without an internet connection.
