Foody, Salvo Lo Cascio

Provide a kitchen assistant from shopping to cooking.

DATE 2021

MATURITY LEVEL Concept

Salvo Lo Cascio, a product designer proposes a vocal (and more) assistant focusing on making a great cooking experience

At the opposite of generalist smart speakers (Alexa and google home), that could offer the same functionalities for the user. Foody is dedicated to the kitchen only (but in a much friendly and luxury way): it manages your pantry  from shopping list to stock control and supports your cooking from recipes proposal to real time coaching.

food for thoughts ...

The very specific design, with product details and user experience attention, enables the creation of an innovative concept each user is dreaming of. How to bring a touch of specific detail and experience attention to more complete smart products (smart homes, smart cars,..)

The innovation is often initiated from the relevant combination of two basic components (for Foody: a display on a slider): How to enable easy development orchestrating 2 or more components.
