In the second half of 2024, artificial intelligence technology sparked an "AI+" wave across various industries. In this surge, AI technologies, represented by large models, are not only driving industrial evolution but also deeply integrating into the daily lives of Chinese people. On August 28, at the AGIC Conference held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, wan AIChef made a stunning debut with its flagship product—the wan AIChef Kitchen Intelligence System—becoming the world’s first kitchen intelligence product to fully leverage core AI technologies.
The launch of the wan AIChef Kitchen Intelligence System marks a groundbreaking advancement for AI technology in the culinary field. Guided by the philosophy of "Smart Technology for People, Supporting Every Home," it aims to make cooking simple, fun, and convenient, allowing everyone to enjoy the services of a personal chef. In the future, wan AIChef will use the kitchen as a pivot to build a bridge connecting the food industry and consumers.
At the conference, Wang Ning, Director of the Operations Center at wan AIChef, elaborated on the development初衷, technical principles, and core features of the Kitchen Intelligence System. Wang Ning emphasized that the charm of artificial intelligence lies in its ability to understand user needs and take over tasks like thinking, filtering, learning, and decision-making. Compared to traditional kitchen tools, the wan AIChef Kitchen Intelligence System features personalized learning and adaptability to user habits, achieving true machine autonomy.
After four years of dedicated effort, the wan AIChef team consulted over 100 renowned chefs, studied more than 1,000 home-style recipes, and conducted over 1 million iterations of cooking data training, ultimately developing the wan AIChef Zhurong Cooking Model. This Kitchen Intelligence System truly realizes the dream of machines replacing human chefs, laying a solid foundation for the future of smart kitchens.
During the exhibition, the wan AIChef booth attracted numerous visitors who stopped to experience the product. Many attendees expressed that the wan AIChef Kitchen Intelligence System has transformed their understanding of traditional cooking, making it easy to enjoy delicious meals even amidst busy schedules.
The success of the wan AIChef Kitchen Intelligence System is the result of the team’s diligent research and meticulous refinement of the product. In addition to the Zhurong Cooking Model, wan AIChef has also developed the Tiancu Ingredient Recognition System, equipped with a 13-megapixel high-definition camera that can clearly identify various ingredients and automatically match recipes and cooking methods.
Furthermore, wan AIChef features a 4D Ultra-Sensitive Temperature Control System. Using high-resolution thermal imaging sensors and intelligent stirrers, it captures real-time temperature changes on the surface of ingredients and automatically adjusts cooking parameters to ensure optimal results.
wan AIChef has conducted extensive testing and training for different ingredients and dishes, achieving precise cooking outcomes. It also personalizes cooking results based on users’ cooking history and preferences. Users can interact with the system through multiple methods, such as the voice assistant Xiao Wan, the touchscreen display, and the mobile app, allowing remote monitoring and customization of meals.
Notably, the wan AIChef Kitchen Intelligence System can also intelligently identify the nutritional content of dishes, generate healthy recipes, and provide personalized dietary guidance, helping families maintain a healthy diet.
It is reported that wan AIChef will also launch an unmanned kitchen commercial solution, aiming to cover 10,000 core locations by 2026. The company plans to collaborate with 300 food enterprises, develop 2,000 dishes, and drive 15 billion yuan in food sales.
As a national technology enterprise, wan AIChef is committed to advancing digitalized elderly meal assistance services. Guided by values of respecting the elderly, assisting the disabled, caring for children, and using technology to promote equality, the company aims to address the dining needs of the elderly, children, and people with disabilities.
Over the past two years, under the leadership of local governments and civil affairs departments in Guangxi, Guangdong, and Jiangsu, wan AIChef has developed a meal assistance system leveraging its intelligent cooking capabilities. This system has been implemented in 120 caring canteens, covering over 110 rural areas and communities and serving more than 20,000 elderly individuals. The initiative has involved over 50 charitable enterprises and 2,000 charitable individuals, with cumulative donations nearing 16 million yuan. By 2026, wan AIChef plans to expand this model to 5,000 rural areas and 10,000 caring canteens across China, serving over 2 million elderly and disabled individuals.
