Culture-tech that gives AI a palate, building the brain for robotic kitchens
Building TongueSign®, an AI-native predictive taste intelligence engine that learns what people will crave next and turns taste into decisions—and eventually into cookable execution. Powered by our patent-filed concept: the Universal Flavour Equation.
Food is the final frontier for AI
AI has learned language, images, and code. Food is
harder—because taste is culture + chemistry + context +
emotion + memory.
Kokumi is building the missing layer: a taste intelligence
system that understands what humans love—and can reproduce
it, personalize it, preserve it, and deliver it anywhere.
When taste becomes computable, food becomes programmable:
Preserve cuisines forever
Codify heritage dishes so they never fade
End hunger, cut waste
Align production exactly with preference
Scale creativity
Chefs design once, robots execute everywhere
Personalise nutrition
Meals optimised for your biology & palette
Democratise access
Michelin-quality for the masses
Decentralise food systems
From factory farms to hyper-local pods
Digitise smell & taste
Transfer sensory experiences over IP
Optimise supply chains
Predictive logistics based on craving data
Automate quality control
Sensors that taste better than humans
Invent new flavors
AI-generated combinations no human conceived
Teleport Dishes
Mom's curry, printed in your kitchen
Reduce carbon footprint
Plant-based that actually tastes real
The Intelligence Layer
Understanding the problem and building the solution
The Problem: Broken Signal Stack
Food innovation is expensive because brands rely on
broken signals: Delayed (sales lag), Biased (surveys
aren't real), Noisy (social chatter ≠ consumption),
and Too Coarse (misses region/occasion context).
Outcome: low hit-rates and slow learning
loops.
The Solution: TongueSign® Intelligence
TongueSign® converts consent-based signals into
privacy-first, anonymized intelligence. It answers:
What flavors are rising next? Which snack
directionality will win? Which QSR LTO will work
where?
A decision engine designed to plug into
innovation workflows.
What We Build
Powered by our predictive taste intelligence engine.
for Brands
A modular suite for:
- Craving Forecasts (early signals)
- Flavor Trajectories (evolution)
- White-Space Mapping (unmet demand)
- Concept Diagnostics (go/no-go)
- Launch Intelligence (faster loops)
Community
A playful, high-signal experiential foodie community that captures meal moments and strengthens TongueSign® over time—because culture lives where people eat.
Pilot Questions
Three pilot questions that map to repeatable revenue
12-month headline outcome: convert pilots into subscriptions.
Flavor directionality
What's rising next (notes, formats, segments), and where do the demand pockets form first?
Eating what, where, why?
Turning everyday meal context into structured intelligence: occasions, motivations, and repeat loops.
QSR LTO localization
Which LTO concepts win in which city/cluster—and how should taste, format, and messaging adapt?
Patent filed: Universal Flavour Equation
We have filed a patent anchored around the Universal Flavour Equation—our foundational approach to representing taste in a way that enables prediction, comparison, and decisioning across cultures and contexts.
We treat trust as defensibility: consent, anonymization, aggregation, and governance are built into the system.
The brain for robotic kitchens
Most automation executes recipes. Kokumi's vision is to execute taste.
TongueSign® becomes the intelligence layer that bridges:
cravings → decisions → recipes → execution → feedback → learning
That's how you get robotic kitchens that:
- cook for individuals, not averages
- preserve cultural authenticity and still personalize
- adapt nutrition without sacrificing delight
- standardize excellence at scale—anywhere
Built at the intersection of AI systems + food culture
Kokumi's edge is a cross-functional build:
- AI/ML & applied research: predictive modeling, representation learning, evaluation harnesses
- Full-stack & platform: pipelines, product systems, enterprise dashboards, APIs
- Qualitative research: mapping human taste language to structured, learnable frameworks
- Food advisors: chefs/flavor experts to anchor sensory validity and cultural authenticity
- Ops & partnerships: pilot delivery, enterprise procurement readiness, ecosystem alliances
- Marketing & advertising intelligence: taste → segmentation → positioning → performance loops
We believe food is the last great "human" domain for AI.
Kokumi is building the bridge.
